I changed the wording on two points: 1) Ory indeed said he moved from New Orleans to California "for [his] health" in some interviews, but given the details when he discussed that time in more details it seems likely he was using the slang meaning of the phrase (which folks who watch old gangster movies will probably be familiar with). Unless we can discuss details, I think it's better to leave it at the simple statement of when and where he moved. 2)Someone may have finally established an exact date on Ory's Nordskog Records recordings, but if so I havn't seen it yet. All the sides may have been made on a single day, or maybe not. Thus I'm inclinded to leave it at he recorded "about" '21 or '22. -- Infrogmation 01:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
At times, Kid Ory was in New Orleans in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I have a poster, buried in storage, from a performance on a showboat from that time. He also returned for filming of a documentary on his life. 83d40m 00:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
