[Dixielandjazz] Louisiania?

[david richoux]

When I web search  "LOU-EASY-AN-I-A"  I got a lot of hits - that is the 
popular one - nothing at all for  L.O.U.I.S.I.A.N.I.A (or  
L.I.O.U.S.I.A.N.I.A  ) - that is not to say that there never was such a 
song...

However, the song "C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T.I.N.O.P.L.E" was done by the Paul 
Whiteman Orchestra around 1928 (and many others also recorded that one) 
  and should not be confused with 1953's "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" 
or 1978 "Here I come Constantinople" or 1992 "Constantinople" or the 
unforgetable  "Interlude In Constantinople" by someone called Roger 
Taylor.

anyway,

Dave Richoux
