SPAM-LOW: [Dixielandjazz] Presidential Music

[Mike Marois]

Mornin' All;

What's that rumbling I hear coming from the ground?  It seems to be some of
the heavy weights of "Modern Jazz" being classified as "Dixieland Jazz
Musicians".  Since this is the Dixieland Jazz Mailing List, one can make the
correlation that when "OKOM" is referred to that implies Dixieland Jazz.

Have fun with this one,
Mike

Didn't you just know it? Former President Bill Clinton is an OKOM fan. When
he was in power, the USA prospered.

Hmmmmm. Wonder what kind of music George Bush likes? Country/Western Blues?

Next time vote for an OKOMer. :-) VBG.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone

Presidential Themes

So this distinguished man came into the store, walked about six feet, heard
the music, stopped in his tracks and, as Connie Fails recalls, asked, "What
is that?" The store happened to be the Clinton Museum Store, two blocks from
the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Ark., The
Associated Press reported. The distinguished man happened to be Bill
Clinton. And the music - jazz and gospel - playing on the demo CD just
happened to be a compilation of Mr. Clinton's favorites from the library's
music room. "He took the demo, and by the time he got to the golf course,
all the windows of the S.U.V. were down and he was blasting it," said Ms.
Fails, who operates the store. Soon, it seems, everyone will be able to
share the former president's music. After months of work to acquire
licensing rights, Skip Rutherford, president of the Clinton Presidential
Foundation, said mass production of the 11-track "Bill Clinton Collection:
Selections From the Clinton Music Room" has begun. Among other tracks, it
will feature "My One and Only Love" by John Coltrane, "My Funny Valentine"
by Miles Davis, "There Will Never Be Another You" by Art Tatum, "Summertime"
by Zoot Sims and "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" by Mahalia Jackson
