[Dixielandjazz] Trips on a Time Machine Funky Butt Hall

[Ron L]

I would like to be on any band date with Jelly Roll Morton, but yes, hearing
Bolden would be incredible.  Of course with my skin color in those days, I
probably would have been in deep trouble/danger if I tried to enter FB hall.
And the same would probably apply to most of the Morton gigs 8-(.

Hi Ken
             Without a doubt I'd visit the Funky Butt Hall in Perdido  
St on a Saturday in 1900 to hear the Loudest Trumpet since Gabriel!
