[Dixielandjazz] Dixie Teel.

[M J (Mike) Logsdon]

Some might recall that several years ago I tried to find former list-member Dixie Teel of Houston, TX, but to no avail.  Finally, due to my own dilatoriness, I found what I'm fairly sure is the confirmation of her death, in TX, in 2006.  I have several CDs of both jazz and country, from her "on loan", but she "disappeared" before I could return them to her.  One of her most enjoyable stories was when she visited Geo Buck and staff in N.O., and apparently had a wonderful time.  One of my prized possessions is a mint condition copy of Coggins' "Turk Murphy: Just for the Record", which she gave me as a gift.

I'm greatly remiss in finally "finding" this out.  Now I have, and I share it.

RIP Dixie Teel.
