[78-L] Prince Wong

[Taylor Bowie]

Many thanks to Mal and to Julian for chiming in...there was nothing much I 
could find on the net save for references to Ty's site and also to some 
Jimmie Rodgers memorial record on which he plays...that I said,  I was not 
able to figure out exactly what that record is.
