I read it somewhere, a few years back, that Fats Waller played the
organ in the Notre Dame in Paris and actually made some recordings, and
I believe them to be the jazz type and RCA are still reluctant to issue
them, I think due to the location and type of music in which some people
might take offence.  There is always someone to ruffle the feathers.

 [ I asked John Farrell about this.  He replied, "... although there
 [ can be little doubt that Fats did play a cathedral organ in Paris,
 [ it was probably the one at St. Sulpice, not Notre Dame.  I can find
 [ no evidence that the session was recorded."  -- Robbie
