Re: [Harp-L] Re: Anybody seen, heard or have this album?

My mother was a big fan of Little Wally and Jimmy Sturszhinski. Wally  
& Jimmy played mostly 'Chicago sound' (lots of brass), while Frankie  
Yanchovic played mostly 'Detroit sound' (accordion based). She had a  
lot of albums but I never saw one with Li'l Walter on it.

when we're gone from here...our friends will be drinking all the beer.).
