[78-L] Alex Steinweiss article

[Rodger Holtin]

Back about 1979 or so, Miles Krueger wrote a book about "Show Boat" (correct title escapes me - published by Oxford University Press or somebody like that)  and he discussed the original 1932 Brunswick album with its original artwork and compared it to the Columbia re-issue with Steinweiss artwork.  While this is not primary source material, it is a credible, published reference, probably still available somewhere, and reinforces the concept we are trying to re-establish.

This is important! While the ramblings of a delightful bunch of old coots is very enjoyable, it's not evidence. People saying "Steinweiss wasn't first" aren't any more reliable than people saying "Steinweiss was first" without some solid documentary proof. Without it, journalists and authors are right to ignore us.
