[Dixielandjazz] Fw: How many grooves?

[John And Sue Duffield]

Hi Jack,

I stumbled upon your correspondence on the Dixieland message board in October 2011, regarding the Doo Dah Stakes and Doo Dah Cup. 

I had this 78 LP as a boy in the late 1940s and if my memory serves me correctly,  some of the horses were "Boneshaker", "Carrot Top", "Ferdy The Fox" (or was it Fergy), "Naughty Neddy", "Orange" and "Winnie The Pooh". As a child I was always intrigued and delighted at the fact that the race would end differently and could not work out at the time how this was possible.

I was only just telling my 45 year old son about the album earlier this evening and we thought we would Google it and as a result came across your post. I seem to recall that the record was the colour blue and not the usual black.

Thanks for sharing.
