[78-L] West End Blues on harpsichord

[Ron L'Herault]

Hi John,

I did not realize you were still doing (had resumed?) your great program.
I just listened to the show.  It sounds to me like the band is doing the
same "scat" chorus that Louis did and I know other bands orchestrated his
intro to West End.  Based on that, I'd say that they are copying Louis's
version.

Question on West End Blues. My latest podcast Dance Band Show # 322 is now
uploaded at:

http://www.r2ok.co.uk/dancebandshow.htm

Includes a Phil Green studio group performing West End Blues with Marjorie
Stedeford . Phil Green's harpsichord intro to West End Blues seems to follow
either Oliver's or Armstrong's trumpet solo/intro, both similar so I'm not
sure which one.

So which one, if either?
