Last week I picked up a great 78 pressing of Slim Gaillard's "Dunkin' Bagel" on 
BeeBee (unnumbered..matrix numbers are issue numbers and does BeeBee stand for 
Bam Brown?). I'd known this only from the Savoy LP reissue, Black California. 
Great to hear it without wow, without all the highs rolled off, and WITH THE 
LAST NOTE f'cryin' out loud! And the bit of off-mike banter that follows.

Messrs Valburn and Towers..too tight, man!
