Actually, I was basing my evaluation on the IAJRC CD, which held no 
appeal for me. I have a few Haymes sides, mainly obtained for the 
reverses. Some aren't bad, and they may not have been on the CD.

These form the sum total in my collection:

Freckle Face, You're Beautiful
I Saw Stars
I Wish I Were Twins
Lazybones
Let's Have A Party
Limehouse Blues
One Note Trumpet Player, The
Truckin'

I'm after the two with Chick Bullock. After I've completed my Bullock 
collection I'll start casting my net wider.
