MOUND CITY BLUE BLOWERS

But few jazzfans never have heard the music of theMound City Blue Blowers I guess; each musicians started this way, as a small boy together with the gramophone - playing the trumpet part on a comb.

I learned trhat some interesting fragments of films with these Mound City Blue Blowers are available on the web. If you like you can see those 1929 Mound City Blue Blowers vitaphone fragments here.

Can someone, who has rge complete version ofB]Nine O'Clock Folks confirm thatEd Ford is the fella with the long plank-shoes.

That St. Louis Blues is KILLER !

Ed Long ? Not sure. If you meant the guy playing the suitcase I thought that was Josh Billings. I've been looking here and there online for a photo of Josh but so far no luck.

Ed Ford is named by David Meeker in his Jazz In The Movies as being part of the film.

He was a vaudeville artist. I found a picture of him ( Mound City Blue Blowers blog )

Mike L. confirmed that the the fella with the long plank-shoes and Ed Ford are one and the same person, although on the picture of Ed Ford he is much older. ( correct: The Ed Ford picture is from the 1940s)
