Dear Listmates,
This is a long shot.
Do any of you have, or know where I can access a copy of Down Beat 14 July 1950?
Specifically, the sheet music and article related to the following item from a Ricky Riccardi ‘World Of Louis Armstrong blog:

"...a song titled "Farewell to Storyville," written by Joe Bushkin specifically for Armstrong. In Down Beat's celebration of Armstrong's 50th birthday the following year, they actually printed the sheet music for the song and said, "The Armstrong waxing of 'Storyville' is scheduled for release soon by Decca." Unfortunately, Decca never released such a recording and there are no indications that it was even recorded.”

Very kinds regards,
Bill.
