  Speaker 10: Jim was nailed and brought to trial. The old judge
• 11:17
  Speaker 10: burned him with a look and up and hit him
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: with a book. In the cell where Jimmy locked, steel
• 11:27
  Speaker 10: secured and granite blooded, he played a music rich, a part,
• 11:34
  Speaker 10: a gift God gives a contrite heart. A long summers
• 11:56
  Speaker 10: came long winter's win, and all of Jimmy's time was
• 12:01
  Speaker 10: spent to reach a cord to cut the air and
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: blow that note that wasn't there. The sun went down
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: in Stoureville when love went out with Jim and Jilren.
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: First wal came in provision, and a district went to
• 12:24
  Speaker 10: quick petition. A diehards died on bathtub Jim, But the
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: music lived like hidden sind the tickletoes in northern lands
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: for the advent of the Dixie Bands, but New Orleans
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: was much alive in the year in nineteen thirty.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Five, Jim took the long road home.
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: At last, the dark and bitter days were fast now.
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: When Jimmy blue Eyes hit the bricks, he was master
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: of hot licks his trumpet quad and tore the air
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: in search of a note.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: That wasn't there.
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: He played the hottest spots in town, nearly blew the
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: ceiling's down. When it's encorees all were done, they said, Oh,
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: that man is Gabriel's son, the rome on the colored
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: Timmy Stephen, full blown gale, the silver sleep. He smiled
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: and played right on until his mind ran back to
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: his heartbeat. Jill, Now you show me an artist, fine
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: affair who seeks a note that isn't there, And I'll
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: show you a guy that most men ain't. He's alone
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: and the clouds an uncrowned saint. So he scattered joy
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: to his fellow man. Oh he might wind up, and
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: also ran to drive fast, glory.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Fortune, fame.
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: It's Nirvana, sure, but an oartbreak game, and Jimmy's heart
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: and soul set out the soft, sweet tones.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Of his trumpet shower.
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: He blew it hot and low and high.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: He hit the fringe.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: I haven't sky. The multiplying strains made nought. He couldn't
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: reach a peaky sort. He blew until the notes were vain,
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: elastic stretches of his brain. He tried Hongan and Mumbo pills,
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: but they wouldn't bring a trumpet trolls. He killed a
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: quarter rye each day, and it didn't help for his
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: high note play.
• 14:34
  Speaker 16: Jimmy Boy case is tragic. Best resort to Mammy Magic.
• 14:40
  Speaker 16: She cooks a pot like jungle stew. There's injury in
• 14:44
  Speaker 16: her devil's groom.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Where does this Mammy Magic live? Where? Tell me where?

• 14:55
  Speaker 8: Look over your shoulder, man, the old hut in the wood,
• 14:59

• 15:07
  Speaker 10: and fame, whose spells were famouses of blues from New
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: Orleans to Newport News.
• 15:21

  Speaker 17: I'm selling you are here to buy.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: What's he asking for price?
• 16:22
  Speaker 17: I don't make out his bills. He keeps them plenty private.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Get your devil man.
• 16:31
  Speaker 12: We'll cut up a deal, me and him.
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: So, Mammy Magic cast a spell to summon up the
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: King of Hell.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Damn Balla, damn Balla.
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: He came in a flame of smoking thunder that almost
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: tore the town asunder. He smelled like absence and smoking mud.
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: His eyes were ruby's pigeon blood. He stood erect in
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: a man of gold, and his tail.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Was eighty kre of gold.
• 17:25

• 18:13
  Speaker 10: evil lot of old red, turned that silver horn the gold.
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: Jimmy Blue Eyes walked on the feet which never touched

  Speaker 10: upon the street. He wore a broad smile upon his
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: face for that never never note was his, that long
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: elusive note was there, the most immortal anywhere.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: But when he blew it, come what may, he.

  Speaker 3: Had an awful price to pay.
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: Old Hot Lips George has come down from a long

• 21:18
  Speaker 10: Jim took his stage and struck a stance bowl for

  Speaker 10: a guy with a chinaman's chance. He warmed the hot notes,

• 23:03
  Speaker 10: and dedicated. The music of that Dixie man was greater
