Dixie in the Raw, Volume II - As I look around for Almost Lost images....and film...and audio....I find some interesting things. At an estate sale here in Albuquerque, I found two albums of the sort that one might LEAST expect. You just don't think of Albuquerque as a town that would be home to Dixieland jazz music. But I found two albums made on the Sandia record label (the Sandia Mountains are right there on the Albuquerque skyline, but no Sandia recording studio exists anymore). The albums were undated....but 33RPM, so not the older 78RPM records..and held a full selection of Dixieland jazz played by what was, according to the cover description, a local group that also no longer exists - McCoskey's Dixieland All-Stars. The group consisted of a geologist, an attorney, an insurance adjuster,an insurance salesman, a supermarket operator, an accountant and a tobacco salesman. A diligent Internet search revealed NOTHING about the group or the album.....but I did find obituaries for most of the group members. So, as is the goal of Almost Lost Images and Audio, here is a cut from their second and final album, so it might not be lost to the world. Enjoy.
