Mostly Direct to Disc LP's:
Sheffield:  Thelma Houston's Pressure Cooker, Harry James' "Coming From A Good Place"

Dixie Direct (D to D):  Rosie O'Grady's Good Times Jazz Band.  From the delicate sounds of a triangle (Intro to "Japanese Sandman"), to a Romping Stomping Tuba Solo on "When You're Smiling", and all kinds of really invigorating Dixieland in between. The best recording I have ever heard!  I saw the bans at Orlando's Rosie O'Grady's Good Time Emporium, which had not only the biggest Dixie Land Band I ever saw, but even had well coiffed, hoops dress laden ladies coning down the wide staircase from the balconies.  The last time I went, there were even a bunch of sailors on leave.  One even got into a fight with a Marine.  I wondered if it were a part of the show, and still don't know.
