[TPIN] Freddie Keppard Anecdote (Was Re: OT: Unlucrative (?!)enterprises)

[Glenn Bengry]

Hey Rick,


      According to the Ken Burns documentary on Jazz
Wynton knows what fingerings Freddie used and knows how he sounded too even 
though he wasn't there and there are no recordings or videotape.  So Freddie 
was just wasting his time with the handkerchief.
