[Dixielandjazz] Suitcases - Was Washboards & Drums

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

CORRECTOMENTO MICHAEL,

However it should be noted that in these modern times the Saxophone is 
indeed a novelty instrument primarily because you can just hang one 
outside your front door or back door and the wind will play it.  :))

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

    I have to disagree with that. They said the same things about 
saxophone originally. The saxophone was a novelty instrument until 
Coleman Hawkins came along and look what happened. Now you can hardly 
hear a jazz melody without the saxophone playing the melody.
