Dear Steve (and Jack),
As you would expect,
I am familiar with the copyright fight. As you would expect.
But not the quote "Jedge Blues is Blues".
Source please, so that I can officially concede defeat.

If it is in the chapter in H O Brunn''s book 'The Story of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band' regarding the court case, then I missed it.
Although, there is similar reference "All blues is alike..." on page 81.
Nor could I find in the lengthy 'Alcide 'Yellow' Nunez: A Short Biography'.
Kind regards,
Bill.
