[Dixielandjazz] Red beans and rice

Dear Phil, 
True, but they did have washboards.

And don't forget 'The Ory Creole Cook Book'.
Recipes included with the album notes on the back covers of the Kid Ory Creole Jazz Band Good Time Jazz LPs 12004, 12008 and 12016.
Creole Gumbo File, Shrimp Jambalaya, Crawfish Bisque Creole and Red Beans and Rice
We didn't try them, but had mates who did, with acclaimed success.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
