[78-L] Goldkette

[Taylor Bowie]

Which is exactly what I was trying to say,  Al,  but was not making clear. 
I am VERY interested in who is on what record and when it was made,  but 
knowing or not knowing does not take away or add to my enjoyment of 
listening to the performance.

I've often posted here with nit-picky questions/thoughts about who plays 
what on what session...I find it endlessly fascinating.

Also the gist of the article in VJM was that the Rust listings have been 
incorrect assuming that McKinney people are on some of the records issued as 
by Goldkette.
