[Dixielandjazz] Turk Murphy tunes

[Jean Marc Ternois]

Dick,
indeed no doubt: Red Flannel is the same tune as Lazy Luke !
Concerning the "attributed", I'll include them in my list, Turk is very
involved in these tunes anyway.
Many thanks to you for your great work you've done with your Stomp Off
Records and your Stomp Off Tune Titles & Composers Index.
Jean Marc
