[Dixielandjazz] The Axemans Jazz

[Bill Haesler]

Phil Wilking wrote [in part]:
> The story I heard was that a serial axe-murderer wrote to the newspaper in about 1919 that he would stop killing if more New Orleans bands played jazz. With nothing to lose, more bands played jazz and the killing stopped. The murderer never was caught.

Dear Phil,
Thanks ol' mate for revealing the ending.

Kind regards,
Bill.
