[Dixielandjazz] Woody Allen

[OArkas at aol.com]

Hi:
Been watching this thread and thinking about Woody Allen and his music.   I 
saw the TV documentary on his European tour.   I remember that the spokesman 
(banjo player I think) said that their style was a very archaic style of playing 
that you won't hear any more.   Personally, I found that it sounded a lot 
like folk music, and I enjoyed it.   Of course, in a couple of scenes Woody Allen 
had a cold or something and couldn't even blow the clarinet.   I enjoyed it, 
I have to say.   I guess it takes all kinds.   I do agree with Mr. 
Barbone,though, that a lot of negative comments don't help the subject of this music we 
all love.   If you go to Chris Tyle's web site:

Go to the link to the old, original recordings and give a listen.   I bet a 
lot of fans of OKOM today, might be surprised.   Listen especially to the 
clarinet players.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to all.
