  1. You could always go “pirate” and download the torrent for her.

  2. Vilmar:  Get out of my head.  wink

    Peiper, check your BMEWS email account…

  3. I just buy the actual CDs, and play them on my stereo. I suppose I could hook up a ripper app somewhere in the path if I had to create .mp3 files.

  4. All well and good.......if you can find the CD...... or the LP.  I haven’t been able to or I’d have done it and mailed it to Peiper.  At least one with the cut he is specifically speaking about.  Do you know where to find it?

  5. Just rebooted again checking site , busy all day since post. Thanks guys.

    I finally managed it. 

    Tiger .... Checked but ... what am I looking for? There is something way off to the right but, no scroll bar to bring whatever it is into view.  It has a !  on it and some printing that isn’t readable but otherwise, there’s just the normal email.

    Have any of you heard of an alternative to Quick Time?  I remember reading something about it long ago but never did anything about it at the time.

    Back later

  6. Peiper:  The body of the email I sent you contained a URL to a .zip file you could download.  Inside that is what you were looking for.  I hope your email program didn’t munch it.

    Alternative to Quicktime (I’m assuming you mean the player and not the file format):

    I use this player out of South Korea, called the Daum PotPlayer:
    32 bit version:  http://www.dvbsupport.net/download/index.php?act=view&id=230
    64 bit version:  http://www.dvbsupport.net/download/index.php?act=view&id=236

  7. Well, that took me about 9 seconds to find.

    “Baker, baker, mighty hard to find
    Not a baker in this town bakes a jelly roll like mine”

    “AIN’T GONNA GIVE ANYBODY ANY OF MY JELLY ROLL, MY JELLY ROLL.
    I WOULDN’T GIVE YOU A LITTLE PIECE OF MY CAKE, A LITTLE PIECE OF MY CAKE
    ...
    I ain’t gonna give you none of my jelly-roll...not to save your soul”

    ... because the name of the tune is JELLY ROLL.

    Confusion can come into the search because she used to work with a pianist named Jelly Roll Morton.

    Amazon has a song for .99, and the whole Album Moans and Blues for 8.99 download, $17.39 for the physical CD.

  8. (the name of the tune is JELLY ROLL.)

    Nope ... don’t think so.

    Drew .... Title on the old EP 45rpm was, “I ain`t gonna give nobody none of this jelly roll” .... Also listed that way other place found.  Never heard Baker,Baker mighty hard to find and assume it is another version by some other blues singer.

    She was with Sharkey and his Kings of Dixieland and recorded with him in the 50’s where I first heard this tune.  There’s miles of her recordings on YT but strangely, this has not been uploaded there. Don’t know why when there are so many other uploads of her.

    Nuther subject.
    Can you get xtra strength Vicodin?  Won’t take away back pain as I well know, but it can take the edge off.

  9. Tiger ...

    Alternative to Quicktime (I’m assuming you mean the player and not the file format):

    File format?  I just assumed an alternative was something that replaces the whole thing.
    Apparently not , judging by your reply.  How does one use a player alternative without using its own file system? 
    Shows ya how little I know about these things.

  10. Drew, I saw the one you are referring to also but I’ve sen the album where the title is as Peiper mentioned.

    Here’s a link: http://hotjazzandcoolblues.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-best-of-lizzie-miles-1927-1955.html

    Track 18.

    Seeing these names reminds me of a college class I took on art appreciation and they had people like King Oliver, Bix Beiderbecke, Jelly Roll Morton, etc.

    Maybe Peiper can chime in and give us the scoop.

    OK,,, went there and learned for the first time that she did indeed record this tune more than once. The version here tho is pretty damn bad.  The version I now have has lots more verve and kick to it, especially with Sharkey’s group.

  12. Peiper:  Before iTunes existed, there was a quicktime file format (.qt file extensions) and an Apple Quicktime player (software application) that you could install, and use to play those video files.

    I don’t know what comes with the iTunes service that’s available today, so I’m going based on my past knowledge.  The Daum PotPlayer links I provided above are an alternative player application that play almost any format; very slick player, beats the pants off of VLC, which is what I used before.

    I sent you an email today from my agtiger.com domain.  Did you get it?  If not, do you have an email address I should try writing to you at?  I can resend the email…

    I see the other guys have really gone to bat to find it for you on CD available for purchase.  That might well end up being superior to what I found!

  13. Yup, I was certainly wrong on this one. Not only does the tune exist with its long title, its a classic ... there are about 140 different recordings of it out at YouTube, including covers done by player pianos and Swedish dixieland jazz bands.

    “Jelly Roll” seems to be a much rarer rendition actually.

    So, who actually wrote this thing, and who had the earliest recording??

    and yeah, the Smithsonian version online really sucks. Thinned down to nothing.
