[Dixielandjazz] Hambone Kelly's - 1950

[EDWIN COLTRIN]

You are absolutely correct, Jim
 
I also was a customer at Hambone's, You bought your ticket from Mother Scobey and gave the ticket to Pop Scobey, Entered Hambones. The bar was on the right when you entered ,seating dead ahead, with dance floor and a serving counter closer to the bandstand on the right. In the back was another room, which featured Wally Rose on Piano on tues, wed, thurs. 
 
I followed the band from Big Bear Inn on Redwood canyon road, in Oakland to Dawn Club , Annie Street, SF.
 
Many fond memories of my times at both Dawn and Hambones.

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!
