[Dixielandjazz] Steve Brown - and Bass Ale Blues

[Marek Boym]

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
Of course you are right, as always, and both the sleeve and Rust
attribute the tuba break to Phil Napoeon.
Funny thing - I was looking at the sleeve while writing, so it must
have been the hour (hadn't had any Bass Ale to justify myself).
As to the misleading subject - I considered adding "and" sufficient to
prevent confusion.  Just hadn't the strength to write another email!
Sorry.
Anyway, I find the number well played, and bringing back pleasant
memories (of the ale, not the band - at nearly 69 I'm too young to
remember the latter).
Cheers
