[Dixielandjazz] Kash's question about the song "Dixie"

[Bobolink7736 at aol.com]

DJML mates,
     While I am afraid I am too late for Kash's need with his grandchild, I 
found lots of
stuff on the song "Dixie" at Google.com.  I cut and pasted an especially good 
article
but blow it away somehow and have been unable to find it again.  It cited a 
number
of African-American musicologists, university professors, and was just 
stomp-down
good.  Maybe you can find it, if interested.  I think it was written in 1998.

     As regards the playing of "Dixie,"  I think Elvis got it right and did 
it the only way
a White group can perform it without having their integrity questioned.  I 
love what he
did.  That medley sends me into deep, deep emotion, longing for a day when we
can all be free of all our trials, especially those arising from racial 
prejudice.  I weep
every time I hear this recording, just as I do each time I hear Dr. King's "I 
Have a Dream" speech.

     Best wishes to all,

     Bob "still trying to learn to play the cornet" Lynn

Gary, IN. and     the Deep South in Brunswick, Georgia.
