[Dixielandjazz] Wally Fawkes a birthday greeting

[Marek Boym]

Wally Fawkes!  A perennial favourite of mine ever since I first heard the
early Humph band, when dad brought me the "Humph's Blues" EP back in 1959.
I have since acquired quite a few Wally Fawkes (and Humph) recordings,
including "It seems Like Yesterday" (it doesn't).  I bought SOS' "That's
the Blues, Old Man" and later, unlike my wont, the Lake reissue of the
three Fawkes albums on SOS when the other two LPs were no longer available
(I could not afford them at the time of issuance).  And more.  Only not the
Troglodytes - I have one second hand EP, but so far I haven't seen any LPs
of the group; I have, however, The Neo-Troglodytes.
I consider Fawkes one of the all time clarinet grates (all the others, with
the exception of Cy Laurie, being American).
Cheers
