A record collector died 😿 in a house on my way back from the 🚲 shop where I had to go to get my breaks fixed
Stuck walking, I treated myself to ice cream then got some of his books on my surprisingly pleasant trip home
Also stopped at #MassyBooks, which you should visit if you’re in #Vancouver
A memorable haul!

Mister Jelly Roll has Alan Lomax siting there talking with Louis “Big Eye” Nelson about “Charley” [sic Henry] Peyton’s Accordiona Dance Band, where the first jazz musician Buddy Bolden got his start
And Lomax and other jazz historians never bothered to ask anything else about this accordion band that kicked off all of jazz?!?
Come on! 🪗❤️🔥🎺 🎶

My book has a reoccurring theme of blues, country, and jazz researchers hearing about old relatives who played accordion, and never asking about it
As if assuming the earliest blues players’s old uncle who played accordion since the 1890s was as dismissible as the white researcher’s boring 1950s accordion lessons
So frustrating
