[Dixielandjazz] Schools Dumbing Down The Music?

[Bob Romans]

Hi Listmates!
Can any of you remember when the Beatles and Elvis  hit the scene/top 
charts? Remember the reaction all of the sexy little teeny boppers had! Then 
all of the boys who were going through puberty, and all THAT entails, saw 
what it took to get the girls...LOUD DRUMS and AMPLIFIED GUITARS...how many 
Dixieland/OKOM  bands have those two ingredients?
We have to remember that the kids today have developed their taste for music 
from THEIR dumbed-down parents/grandparents! We should just be happy playing 
for whomever will listen to us until we can discover that magic here-to-for 
unknown trick to get an audience who can appreciate what it takes to learn 
how to play OKOM! It will NEVER be as popular again as it once was. Get used 
to it.
Warm regards,
