[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Wiggle (copying charges)

Mon Mar 13 18:34:27 EDT 2017

Hello, Andrew, Robert, and DLJ list,

I was able to find digitized sheet music at the Tulane University's Digital
Library.

Here is the link:
http://www.louisianadigitallibrary.org/cdm/ref/collection/p15140coll47/id/1247

If you are not able to open the link I will send it as a pdf you, Andrew.

Thanks,
Rhonda
