I also forgot to mention earlier that I have a 12" LP 'Strictly Dixie featuring George Girard and The Basin Street Six' (Mercury MG 20151). 
It includes a great "Tin Roof Blues", a feature for Pete Fountain ala Irving Fazola. 
Jess and I hope you enjoyed Hogmanay.

For those interested, most of this subject (but not the "Margie"query) was discussed on the DJML back in May 2006.
