    OK now I am really confused, damned Colin, leave it to a New 
Zealander to stir up things on this list : )) 
 
 He seems to lurk a lot but is a deeeep thinker, :)) 
 
  NOw in looking at this fine information about the ODJB I am amazed at 
the content in it and the gfreawqt Marketing capability of the guy/or 
Gal who wrote and designed this piece. 
 
  A Saxophone with the croup??? I know a lot of Sax players who sound 
that way. Perhaps they would sound better if they could find a Lard Can 
to play through. :)) That must be where they came up with the idea that 
a Saxophone will play itself if you hang it out in the wind. :)) would 
give it that authentic Megaphone sound. eh? 
 
  I love the part about "the most difficult thing for them to do was get 
the JASS band to stand still long enough to make a record :)) Hummm 
don't spose that inspired "Fidgety Feet do Ya??? Nah Dancers Pooo Pooh 
on that idea. :)) 
 
  Then that line about everybody shaking a leg in the audience???? At 
most of the Dixieland festivals I have attended the ONLY legs being 
shaken were Wooden Ones by some irate guy yelling to turn the music 
down and slow it down. :)) 
 
  Now according to the article: in New Jersey, The Band was a Sexy bunch 
hell bent on "Penetration" and they also Played "BLUES" How uncool was 
that??/ no wonder they never became popular :)) 
 
  A "WAG" described them as a Jass Band gone Crazy, NOw somebody needs 
to tell this wet behgind the ears kid what the Heck was a WAG? anything 
like a Punter? by chance. 
 
  They also obviously played the first HIP HOP song since they played a 
Dixieland ONE BEAT, Hey Ho !!! And they played it with FEROCITY AND 
PENETRATION, MY GAWD NO WONDER THOSE YOUNG LADIES LOVED THEM EARLY 
MUSOS. :)) 
 
 Cheers

    My New Zealand pal, Colin Toomer, turned me on to this website. 
Worth a 
 look, and if you are a Brit, worth surfing around more than this page.
