[Dixielandjazz] Why "Mabel's Dream"?

[Jerry Gordon]

I'm at Jazz in the Olympics, the festival in Port Angeles,WA. Dan Comins,
leader of Titanic Jazz Band, introduced their next number, Joe Oliver's
"Mabel's Dream" and said he had no idea what the significance of the
title was. I figure I'll get an answer from you guys in about 2 minutes.
