I don't know if they are hotly sought after by collectors, but as a
Dixieland trombone player I must say that they would be fun to hear and nice
to have.

Are Lu Watters records attractive to collectors?  I have a huge pile  
of them, I guess from the 50s and 60s, that I got from one of Turk  
Murphy's trumpet players many years ago on a trip to Marin county,  
near San Francisco. He got them off of Turk's widow, so I guess they  
were originally from his collection.

I sampled a few but didn't like them so there they sit.
