[Dixielandjazz] Waiting for the Robert E Lee

[Jim Hillesheim]

Exactly, Bill. And you nailed it with the mention of Clancy Hayes with Lu Watters. That’s the version that was submerged somewhere in the back of my mind, but that I couldn’t retrieve, until you came to the rescue. 

Thanks to all responses to my inquiry. I’m busy pursuing leads suggested.

Cheers,

Jim
