A friend sent me an e-mail about this and I thought I'd pass it on: http://www.hamiltonbook.com/Music/country-music-records-a-discography-1921-1942 I don't have the book, but it would seem to be a must for anyone heavily into early country music - and the price is certainly right.

I bet that's going to be great. I've another title by Davis on Black and Blue called Jaws strikes again and it sounds stunning. Fabulous mainstream jazz with real soul. It sounds as if Lock was in a very good mood when he made this record

I agree with your point about what the government did. It was a criminal thing to do. I just don't see taking it a step further and making Bix a victim. It's a shame that he came to an early death but, for all intents and purposes, his alcoholism was the cause.

It's 2014, Mark. But it's still Your Birthday!
