Don't bother to visit that link - it's full of errors - Louis never recorded 
with the Alabama Washboard Stompers, the disc released as by Louis Armstrong 
And His Original Washboard Beaters is actually by Clarence Williams' 
Washboard Four.

Henry Allen and Jelly Roll Morton never recorded with the Washboard Rhythm 
Kings in 1930 or any other year - the first WRK session was in April, 1931. 
I could go on, but why bother.

The Reynolds brothers should not have stopped taking their pills.

Best wishes
