[Dixielandjazz] Dubious Definitions

[Edgerton, Paul A]

Fred Spencer wrote that "dixieland" as 
	"... a generic term (because of the Original Dixieland Jazz
Band)
	 is generally applied to white groups playing in a frivolous
style
	 and wearing bowler hats."

Now I understand why fame and fortune have evaded me for thirty-odd
years: I've been wearing the wrong headgear!
