I have a friend who's a big Trad Jazz Fan. She's in her 80's and
she says the first time she heard this music was at Hambone
Kelly's (Kelley's?) in 1950. She would like to know who was
playing there at that time.

I'm assuming that it was Lu Watters and the one-cornet version of
the Yerba Buena Jazz Band.  Is this a safe and correct assumption?
If no, who else might have been playing there?

Thanks!
