[Dixielandjazz] Steamboat Stomp

[Ken Mathieson]

Hi Folks,

Mea culpa! The Deaf and Dumb Society references are of course on Sidewalk Blues, not on Steamboat Stomp. I'm not an authority on very much, and hokum on 78s is well down on my list of specialist subjects, so I should have checked the introductory nonsense on the JRM's recordings before putting my big foot in it. This may have been a magnitude of error comparable with unforgiveable sin of quoting wrong matrix numbers. In mitigation, I would plead that I'm actually more interested in what the music sounds like, but then nobody's perfect!

Cheers,

Ken (currently up to my ears in arranging Jelly's GanJam, which, perhaps fortunately, he never recorded, so there's no evidence of any creaking Vaudeville "humour" in the introduction).
