Each Friday I pick a song–new, old, borrowed, blue–that’s been on my mind and in my ears, and write a short post about it.

If you follow the link below, you’ll hear “Milenberg Joys” by Jelly Roll Morton and New Orleans Rhythm Kings:

“Milenberg Joys” Jelly Roll Morton and New Orleans Rhythm Kings

This song was recorded in July 1923.  I post it here in memory of my grandfather, James B. Cowie, who was born 27 January 1923 and died 27 January 2013.
