[Dixielandjazz] Maria Muldaur songs for OKOM

[Mike Durham]

Hi folks - Leon Redbone's recordings are another good source of tunes 
adaptable for OKOM, ancient country numbers and so on.... and also very 
pleasant to listen to, he uses a lot of excellent traditional jazz musicians 
as backing on some tracks.

Mike.

>>Here's a corrective on the Maria Muldaur album. I heard a self-dubbed tape
>>that consisted of 2 albums.
>>
>>"Maria Muldaur" was her first album, Reprise 1973, and has "don't you 
>>feel..."
>>
>>Her second one was "Waitress in a donut shop", Reprise, 1974, and has
>>"Squeeze me", as well as a goodie called "It ain't the meat, it's the
>>motion" (that makes your mama want to rock..).
