[Dixielandjazz] Lou-Easy-An-Ia

[Dick Baker]

I found that in the Bruyninckx discography (and I take great pride in 
the fact that I can spell it from memory without having to 
double-check!).  It's from the September 25, 1953, recording session 
by the George Lewis Quartet that was issued on Riverside 
RLP2512.  HOWEVER, since then I've acquired the Lord CD discography, 
and I see that his listing for that session renders it the more 
likely way, Lou-easy-an-i-a, making me suspect that the Belgian 
blundered.  (But be not judgmental: What if you were writing a 
discography in Walloon?)

And which reminds me of my oft-repeated mantra:  Don't believe 
everything you read in books and ESPECIALLY everything you read on LP 
jackets and in CD booklet notes.
