This MUST be the better (Kid Ory) version. After all, it was recorded on 
my 16th birthday - On the date Iwas sitting and listening to Red Nichols 
et aal at the Hangover on Vine St. in Hollywood, enthralled by the 
constant shaving the fussing with his bass saz reed at "Blizzard Head" 
(Joe Rushton) and the silence between he and Red. They wouldn't speak 
directly to each other and poor Rollie Culver has to pass on the 
messages - which often sounded like this: "Joe - Red says to play a 
little lound onthe bridge," to which Joes would say, "Please inform the 
Leader that it was loud enogh and go screwhimself.! Was was a wonderful 
and tasty drummer but the most uncomfortable of messengers ever.
Great music and an even better sideshow.
By the way, when Ory got back to LA his usual stand was the Beverly 
Caverns, and when he was out, Clyde Hurley led a fine band there.
