[Dixielandjazz] St. James Infirmary

[Bert Brandsma]

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the correction, indeed I took the date from redhotjazz.But remembered the recording since it impressed me so much some 30 years ago, when it was played on Dutch radio.Where has the time gone that regular radio played records like that?
Kind regards,
Bert Brandsma
