Jim, I have to admit I could be wrong on this. It was a long time ago; =
and unlike the decorators, I was concentrating on the music. But I =
think I would have noticed black bow ties....I really don't like =
them...they make the band look like waiters.

Pat, I have to say that I find this hard to believe...Armstrong and =
his band perfoming with straight ties and different suits. I defy you =
or anyone to produce a picture of this. He and the band always wore =
their uniform-suits with black bow ties.
If what you say is true then there had to be some extenuating =
circumstances. Anyway, can anyone produce a picture of Armstrong's band =
with different dress and straight ties?
