Just a quick update before the New Orleans Auction Galleries - Rockmore Preservation Hall Jazz Musicians - Auction this Sunday May 20th. Shirley Marvin had to go to the Hospital yesterday in Baton Rouge for a low pulse and it is better today but they want to make sure it is all the way up to good before she can go home. She does like cards and notes: Shirley Marvin, 333 Lee Drive, Baton Rouge, LA, 70808.
A research student, Misty Masterson Dobson, at University of Ft. Smith Arkansas really impressed us with her research paper called a "Wailing Wall lll" and she has this excellent conclusion
"Rockmore lovers everywhere have banded together to bring the man and his masterpieces back to life.He was an artistic genius and thanks to the careful preservation of one woman in particular, Shirley Marvin, people everywhere can enjoy him endlessly."
This coming Sunday, May 20th at 9PM ET on eBay, the 9 works below from the Shirley Marvin Collection are up for auction.
