[Dixielandjazz] Names of the notes

[Bob Romans]

You mean, "Empty Garbage Before Daddy Flips" won't help?
Or, "Eskimos Go Bananas Drinking Frosties" won't work either?
Or one more..."Every Girl Buys Designer Fashions"
Yours is still the best, but unusable I would think! Kids would NEVER forget 
it however!!
