[78-L] a riff in some new orleans early jazz records

[Marcel/Cecilia]

The riff itself will be found at the end of The Sugar Blues on this 
record by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band w/ Del McCoury.

Wiki says "Sugar Blues is a song that became popular by Clyde McCoy  
featuring the sound of the growling wah-wah mute. He recorded it no less 
than four times. It became his trademark song. It was written in 1920 by 
Clarence Williams  and recorded for the first time by Leona Williams and 
her Dixie Band in 1922. Although McCoy's version was strictly 
instrumental, there are lyrics, written by Lucy Fletcher. It was 
recorded with vocals by both Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, Fats 
Waller and Ella Fitzgerald."

I've got a 1941 version by Count Basie and a 1931 version by Clyde 
McCoy...will dig them out and see if the riff is on those versions.
