[Dixielandjazz] "Makin' Friends" (was Hoagy Carmichael 1930 Lazy River-liver)

[Marvin Ipswich]

Dear Bill,
I hear clarinet at 1.30...

Nice, that St. James from Town Hall. I'm glad you mentioned it.

I just watched the video of Jack Armstrong Blues. On tenor sax is Pud Brown
- I saw him play with Danny Barker at the Palm Court in New Orleans in the
1990s - he looked a bit different ;-)


Regards,
Marvin
