[Dixielandjazz] Question re "Stage Business"

[Henry Mason]

Listmates,

While none of us run funny hat bands, from time to time some "stage
business" or gags of one sort or another find their way into
performances to add a visual dimension or sometimes just because they
are funny.     I would appreciate it if some of you veterans would
describe such for some of us neophytes.   I know you guys have
invented some pretty interesting and funny ideas and I for one would
love to know some of the better ones.

We are a long way from doing festivals so you are not likely to see
any of your tricks played back at you any time soon,

Thanks,

Henry
