[Dixielandjazz] forbidden tunes

All depends on where you are in this large country and who is in charge 
of the brainwashing, I have often seen it just the opposite when the 
Church folks are appalled that you would play Saints in a Church 
especially if you jazzed it up in the Devil's tempo.  Hee hee,  :))

Just shows ta go ya that ya can't please all the people all the time, 
danged ifin you don't and danged ifin you do.

Cheers,

  No, Joe Hopkins-not to those tunes. But when I was a band director I 
had a
  small "jazz band" that performed at the several concerts we offered 
each year.
  I well remember one concert in particular-the group did "Five Feet 
Two' with
  a small dance team doing the Charleston. That went over well. Our 
final
  number was that old chestnut ":The Saints" That did NOT go over well 
with one
  lady, who loudly berated me after the concert for playing church music 
in such
 a
  sacrilegious manner. I thought she was going to hit me with her 
umbrella,
  which she kept shaking in my face. Never played the "Saints" again in 
concert.

  Maybe music educators have a rougher time of it today than club 
musicians.
