[Dixielandjazz] Help requested by James P. Johnson's Biographer

[Stephen G Barbone]

Dear List mates:

Here is a copy of an e-mail from the biographer of James P. Johnson.  
He seeks information from fans or musicians who saw JPJ in live  
performance and would like to include personal anecdotes of those  
performances in his 2nd edition:

Some of the old folks on the lists, older than me,  may be able to  
help. If you saw JPJ live, please contact Scott Brown.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
