 Mike Meddings asked me to post this to DJML as he cannot do so.  We are 
trying to sort out the reason why he can't post.

Hello all,

The Jelly Roll Morton website has been updated with the following 6 items of 
great historical interest:

Peter Hanley sends an excellent essay on George Eugene (Detective) Peyton. 
This accompanies Peyton's WWI Draft Registration Card.   Mention of Jelly 
Roll and his associates in Texas.    Get Lomax's "Mister Jelly Roll" off 
your bookshelf for this one!

Laurie Wright sends a not-to-be-missed article titled, "Have Drum, Will 
Travel : An Interview with Tommy Benford."   Many of you will know that 
Laurie published the world-renowned jazz magazine "Storyville." 
(Additional information on Tommy and Bill Benford courtesy of Brian Goggin).

Peter Vickers sends a terrific article titled, "Reminiscing in Ragtime : 
Recollections of Roy J. Carew" by George W. Kay.   The Roy Carew articles, 
especially those penned by George W. Kay, are always of interest to those 
who enjoy ragtime.

Millie Gaddini sends a superb article titled, "Sedalia . . . Missouri, 
Cradle of Ragtime" by Brun Campbell and R. J. Carew.   Mention of Scott 
Joplin and Sedalia.   (Concluding part of this article to follow in a later 
update).

Peter Vickers sends a terrific article on Chink Martin (Martin Abraham), 
titled, "Chink Martin" : An Interview with George W. Kay.   Mention of Jelly 
Roll, the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, Johnny Miller and Bix Beiderbecke.   The 
article contains a rare photograph of Chink Martin (courtesy of Robert H. 
Dyler).

"Town Bump" : A tour-de-force live performance played by ragtime pianist 
Terry Waldo.
