			(Continued from Page 28)					and found itself intensely interested. Fortunate indeed are we to have been able to take down a complete tape (2 tapes to be exact), which are available to all groups of students of jazz for educational purposes. Hows about reviving "The Wax Wing" and using this subject for a starter? What say gang? And thanks, Bill and Arthur for the splendid organization of your program.
and the world   Indeed, we are grateful!
In the absence of Columnist Thomas Griffin, Myra Menville, Corresponding Secretary of the N. O. Jazz Club was asked to do "Langniappe" for him. On July 27th Myra took over ... and her job was excellent! Informative, nostalgic, with historical touches and a change of pace that would have done justice to a seasoned veteran newspaper writer. Except for one thing: she only spoke of jazz three times in her whole column!
								Another collection of records, smaller than that of Mr. Dymit, is offered for sale by member Hal C. Martin of 1245 Forsyth Street, Macon, Ga. There are about 500 records, all of jazz, all speeds and all sizes. Write him personally for details.
P. S. to the above column: Myra was just recently elected by the Board of The New Orleans Country Club to a Committee which selects the bands that are to play at the club for all Saturday night parties and "special events". Needless to tell you that already more real jazz has crept in than ever before!
								Congratulations are in order for George Lewis, archaic style clarinetist now residing in Algiers, La. for his recent marriage. Needless to add that the NOJC send all good wishes for long life and happiness.
								Muggsy Spanier spent a long and anxious week in New Orleans recently, when his beloved Ruth slipped a cog in the region of the gall-bladder. Do we need tell you that Al Oschner, Muggsy's dream-doctor, was the one who retrieved the gravel? Muggs did have time to slip off for a short evening at a private home, and even brought his "plumber's friend" and what goes with it-and made wonderful noises for an intimate gathering. Muggsy had promised to appear at the N. O. Jazz Club meeting at O'Dwyers, but Ruthie was discharged Saturday night.. and they were winging their way to the Windy City one hour after getting the release. We want him to know he was really missed, as the club had built up the entire meeting around the prospect of his playing. But we're glad that Muggsy's "guiding light" snapped out of it so quickly.
Jack Webb ("Dragnet" - "Pete Kelly's Blues") did a fine interview on the occasion of his arrival for the premier of his picture, and did not fail to pat the N. O. Jazz Club on the back for its efforts in behalf of the music which he loves so well. Formerly a disc jockey, he featured much of the authentic jazz which has found its way over the airlanes via the "network" route.
Messrs. Bill Grauer and A. S. Alberts surprised the entire USA with a magnificent "history of jazz" program which emanated from New York. Using many field recordings which were made by Mr. Alberts, some more recent ones made in Cuba by Grauer, and many from the catalog of "Riverside Records", the public was made to accept a one-hour "serious" lecture -
