Subject: RE: NEED LYR: Ace Down in the Hole-NOT G.Straits
I recollect Clancy sang "they wear fancy ties and collars, but where they get their dollars" and "like a chump dealin' stud"? I used to go to some bar on Rush Street in Chicago in the 50's and listen to Scobey and Hayes. (This was before I knew about the Gate of Horn and the Midnight Special.) But the DJ, Dick Buckley, who used to play Dixieland on the FM is still going on WBEZ, so it's not entirely prehistoric! In any event, for more great Dixieland, I also recommend Franz Jackson, the Yueba Buena Jazz Band, and some of the early Red Clay Ramblers stuff. Chris in Wheaton
