King Oliver was known as "Papa" and this may be implied by the

"sweet-lovin' daddy" eh? We can all dream of being somebody's
"Sweet Papa."
1. Louis Armstrong playing with his Hot Five. Wife Lil playing the
piano, Kid Ory on the trombone.
2. Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band was a copy
of the old King Oliver Band. The picture at the right => is a hard-to-find
collage of Lu playing and having a drink at the bar!
3. The Firehouse Five + Two was an unabashed copy of
the Lu Waters band. As you listen, you can hear Ward Kimball copying the
tailgate licks of Turk Murphy.
