You must be getting old.
Along with my earlier mentioning of having trouble getting down on my hands
& knees to go through my albums, now Bill is painting me as being senile!
I am a bit stiff as far as getting down on the ground, etc., but my head is
just fine, thank you very much! :>
There has been a misunderstanding of albums between myself & my good friend
Bill. I was speaking of the album entitled "The Music of Jelly Roll Morton
played by Turk Murphy & Wally Rose", Columbia CL559. The bright red, white
& black (lettering) cover shows a picture of Wally sitting at the piano &
Turk alongside holding a music chart. Both are quite young in the picture.
Jelly Roll is nowhere to be seen.
The album Bill is referring to is a Lu Watters recording.
I hope that clears it all up, and proves that I am still quite young &
healthy in both mind & body! I'll be only 74 in a few days.
