Dear Bill:

Thanks. I had already found it by searching the Original Link you  
provided,  http://www.mainely-jazz.com/rhsongs/songframes.html,  under  
"H".

Great site which I was unaware of. (or had forgotten) Thank you for  
that link. Wonderful to hear Bean in Dixieland context. One of the  
Dixieland songs I got to play with him was "The Chant". Band leader  
asked him beforehand if he knew it and with a shocked look on his  
face, he replied: "Of course, we often played in  Henderson's Band."

Polite disagreement: Bean's Body and Soul is the greatest thing since  
sliced bread. <grin> Of course that kind of comparative statement is  
really nonsense unless one has heard or seen everything.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
