One of my heroes, when I was into 60s and 70s rock and blues rock RIP I was there (January 23, 1992 - Sala Revolver, Madrid):

After ten years, organissimo... ...I'm getting sentimental over you Never thought I'd fall, but when I hear you call, I'm getting sentimental over you. Things you say and do just thrill me through and through, I'm getting sentimental over you. I thought I was happy I could live without love, Now I must admit, love is all I'm thinking of. Won't you please be kind, and just make up your mind That you'll be sweet and gentle, be gentle with me `Cause I'm getting sentimental over you.

Five years later...

That very good news, Augustín. I was hoping that it was just in a long slumber, which is why I kept the Mule link on my own blog. Thanks, Chris. Some Bessie Smith content coming... stay tuned!

The wealth and quality of the information/documentation about early jazz on this blog is truly amazing: http://the78rpmrecordspins.wordpress.com/

My mule is walking again, this is... I've brought my Mule Walk jazz blog back to life!

Just received the email from Mona. The box-set is officially out! http://www.storyvillerecords.com/products/the-king-jazz-records-story-1088611-1
