searching

>>
>> http://www.gemueseorchester.org/kommentare_e.htm
>>
>> It seems a natural that there be a "Vienna Sausage Orchestra" but that
>would
>> be just silly.
>>
>> Anyway, I noticed that they can play stuff from the Radetzky March to
jazz
>> (which I somehow doubt is OKOM).
>>
>> If they were to perform some trad stuff they might consider the
following:
>>
>>     Cherry
>>     Yes, We Have No Bananas
>>     Clarinet Marmelade
>>     Cornet Chop Suey
>>
>> Any other helpful suggestions for this new adventure in music?
>>
>> Respectfully submitted,
