"Precious
Turner."
There was an English boogie-woogie piano man who performed
as
Precious Clarence
Turner until his death some years ago at age 50.
I'm trying to find out more about him. I believe his real name was Jimmy Hoaks, but am not at all sure about the spelling. Any help
will be appreciated. Bob Dehoney, rdehoney@bellsouth.net (F04)
Ghost Stories of Jazz: Would like to hear about
any ghostly/paranormal experiences anyone has had that are connected with jazz
or jazzmen. E-mail, snail-mail or the oral tradition (on my
nickel). Sheryl Smith, 1915 Bellomy St., No. 2, Santa
Clara, CA 95050, phone: (408) 247-5534; sheryllsmith@earthlink.net. (S04)
Beginning work on a second
edition of biodiscography first published in 1986 with the late Bob Hilbert. I am, of course, interested in any
information not included in the first edition and any corrections. In particular, any personal
memorabilia or personal remembrances of performances, etc. Aside from brief, virtually unidentifiable
spots in "St. Louis Blues" and "Emperor Jones," my Holy
Grail is any film. (Is the Condon Floor
Show rumor true?) Thanks for any
help. Scott Brown, 2108 Woodtop Way, Bel Air, MD 21015; home phone: (410) 515-3655; work

Bob Morgan,
guitarist/University Four/CD releases: Does anyone know the whereabouts, perhaps
Does
anyone have 78s by the University Four, a violin/accordion group that recorded
for an unidentified budget label in the 1940s, after the war?
AB
Fable is preparing its next CD releases, including Eddie South broadcasts and
rare; Ginger Smock studio and demo; History of the Swing to Bebop violin. We would be glad to hear from anyone who may
have unreleased/obscure/aircheck/ET recordings that
we may not know about by Perry, Smith, Smock, South, etc.
All
communications answered. Anthony Barnett, 14 Mount Street, Lewes,
