I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

If You're A Viper - Herb Morand & Albert Burbank with George Lewis' Band
This old favourite about the delights of reefer smoking is given the New Orleans treatment by Herb Morand tpt and Albert Burbank clt, with Jim Robinson tbn, Lawrence Marrero bjo, Alcide Pavageau and white drummer Bill Matthews. Recorded at a private party in 1949 it's given a real earthy flavour thanks to some fine Burbank clarinet and Morand's vocal ( he sounds as if he's on it).George Lewis (13 July 1900 – 31 December 1968) was an American jazz clarinetist who achieved his greatest fame and influence in the later decades of his life.
Herb Morand (1905 - February 23, 1952) was an American jazz trumpeter associated with the New Orleans jazz scene.
Albert Burbank (March 25, 1902—August 15, 1976) was an American dixieland clarinet player.
Born in New Orleans Albert Burbank was taught clarinet by Lorenzo Tio, one of that cities most famous clarinet players. He stayed in the New Orleans area throughout the 1920s playing wherever his services were needed. During the thirties, he worked with Kid Milton's band but was drafted to the US navy during World War II. Upon demobilization, he worked internationally with the bands of Paul Barbarin and Kid Ory but returned to New Orleans where he played with several of the well-known jazz and brass bands in the city. He was regularly seen at Preservation Hall and toured Australia with a band made up from Preservation Hall musicians. In 1975, he suffered a stroke but continued playing until his death on 15 August 1976
