The
New DESOR correction-sheets
DEMS 08/2-34
Peter MacHare had the brilliant idea
to make PDF files from the Correction-sheets and put them on his web-site.
If you go to the Home page with http://www.depanorama.net,
you can click on the link titled NDesor and that will bring you to the
Correction-sheets. You can also get there directly with http://www.depanorama.net/desor.
If you have looked at one Correction-sheet and you want to see another one, you
can use the back button on the browser. That will bring you back to the list of
Correction-sheets where you can choose another one.
This new development has several advantages. The most important one for me is
the fact that I no longer have to mail the hard copies to my “customers”.
Another advantage is the fact that I no longer have to wait some time before I
can publish a new Correction-sheet, because it was not yet filled up.
To manage this new method, I suggest that I number the sheets like this:
XXXX/1; XXXX/2 and XXXX/3 until the sheet is full. From that moment on it will
have its standard number XXXX.
In cases where there have been made corrections by hand on a Correction-sheet,
Peter will mention in the list of sheets that this sheet has been corrected. So
if you do not have that corrected sheet, you will know you should look at it.
For my own benefit (to check if a correction might already have been made) I
compiled for myself 6000 sheets. On these sheets are the same small corrections
as on the 5000 sheets, but this time grouped into one list. These lists can
also be of use when someone bought recently a set of New DESOR books and wants
to update them. He or she can now work only once through the books from
beginning to end. We have decided to publish these 6000 sheets also on
depanorama. We might update them each time (each four months, like we do now)
or once a year, which seems sufficient.
This time, Aug08, I will mail the sheets to all “customers”. The next time,
Dec08, only to those who explicitly ask me to continue sending hard copies.

Roger Boyes who did the proofreading of our texts couldn’t dig what we were
trying to say with these correction-sheets. We promise you, if you go to the
entries on Peter MacHares web-site you will not have a problem (assuming that
you have the two New DESOR volumes).

Page 219. Duke had five trumpeters during the
second set on 7Jul56. Herbie Jones was the fifth. See “Backstory in Blue” page

Page 532. 21Jun69. Typo: RJ(b) should read RJ(d).
Page 1113. The description of Scattin’ at the Kit Kat for the 1936
recording is not accurate. It is in accordance with the releases on FDC and
CBS, but on Franklin Mint is the “complete” version, which includes a 4 bars
intro by CW.
Page 1473, Add to Herbie Jones: occasionally 7Jul56.
Page 1476. John Lamb’s birthday is 29Nov33. See my report of the London
Conference on page X.

not Altrusioni as was twice mentioned in the text of 08/1-32.

2. Morgen and not Morgan
See DEMS 08/1-9
It is a small consideration but Joe Morgen is not Morgan. His was the Jewish
(and perhaps German) spelling.
Patricia Willard

The three Manchester concerts have the numbers 9065, 9066 and 9067 and not
