[Dixielandjazz] politically correct?

Whoops!!!!

Now we know why dear Don moved to Florida for the remainder of his 
wonderful career.  :))

Thanks  for sharing that Sandy.   ROTFLOL,  but I bet Don was sweating 
a bit and saying to himself over and over,
What WAS I thinking??   hee hee.

That's as good as a Wardrobe Malfunction at the Super bowl.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins
I love it when that happens.  :))

    Don was booked to play the grand opening of Busch Stadium in St. 
Louis in 1966 on national television with a big band. The first song 
was to have been "Darktown Strutter's Ball" . For some reason he could 
never explain, Don played the first few bars of "Dixie" which was not a 
song played in St. Louis in those years. Of course he corrected the 
error but he said it caused quite an uproar with the union.
