Dear Roger,
Thank you for that  confirmation.
My Verve LP went when I bought the Kid Ory Verve Sessions on  a Mosaic CD 
set.
I was interested to hear that the "Milenberg" spelling was  used by Verve.
Sid Bailey's comprehensive Discography of Kid Ory (both 1996  and 1998 
editions) has 'corrected' the Milenberg Joys" spelling to "Milneberg  Joys" 
throughout.
Probably based on the use of the alternative spelling on  the 1953 Good 
Time Jazz record labels.
All good stuff for pedants like  me.

Kind regards,
Bill.
 
 
    Has anyone ever played a gig in  Muhlenberg, Pennsylvania?
