[Dixielandjazz] Monty Sunshine RIP

[Ingemar Wågerman]

When we made a UK tour with the Gota River Jazzmen in 2003 we met Monty 
and George Webb at the Sidcup Jazz Club. Now they are both gone. Sad. 
There is a photo of Monty, George, our former drummer Hans Åsberg and 
myself on my website www.jazzhistoria.se (George Webb obit.) The photo 
is also published in my book about the traditional jazz in Gothenburg, 
"Down By the Riverside" (unfortunately written in Swedish...)
