The original post was really about how the internet can still surprise with the links it makes. Given the period in which Kid Ory lived, and his influence on, and relation with, early jazz (which I love), he always appeared to me to be part of the legend of a long-gone era. To hear from his daughter - out of the blue - suddenly seemed to bring it up close and in my face.

I'm not really interested in the old "who really wrote what" question - that was just the circumstance in which the connection was made.
