[Dixielandjazz] Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 108, Issue 38

Pat,

In the San Francisco Bay Area I've never seen "up" signaled for flats, 
only down.
I don't remember ever seeing up (sharps) signaled for a tune.
Maybe it was and I just missed it. That would explain the odd sounds.

Cheers,
Bruce Stangeland
