[Dixielandjazz] World's Greatest Jazz Band

[Mike Durham]

The World's Greatest Jazz Band: there's a wonderful story about that name. 
One of the band was being interviewd on local radio somewhere in Nebraska 
and the interviwer asked him if the name wasn't a little pretentious. 
"Well", replied the musician, "it wasn't our first choice". "Oh, what was, 
then?" inquired the unsuspection radio guy. "The Nebraska sheep-f*****s" was 
the reply. End of interview!

Secondary musical connection - the Rolling Stones' hit number "Hey, McCloud, 
Get Offa My Ewe"
