Thanks Bill for the links.

Dear friends,
Ulf Jagfors forwarded an interesting article regarding New Orleans double
bass players the other day in which was mentioned the great Al Morgan and
his appearance in the 1933 WC Fields film "International House".
Here is a link to the "Reefer Man" segment cited:
