Looks excellent, thank you.
You're welcome!
This post looks fabulous. can you show me the download link?
Thanks, bassooner.
Doug, look for the + sign. Pwd is Volstead (not case sensitive).
Than you. I can tell, you appreciate really good music.
Thanks. I've got roughly 300 or so of this genre in my collection, and hopefully I'll be able to share it all. The best part is that now I'm listening to all of these as I post.
Fyi, you can hear streams of this music on Radio Dismuke, Hot Jazz Saturday Night (with Rob Bamberger) and the 1920s Radio Network (see my links). All free and no commercials.
Scans of the cover and booklet info have been added to the post.
