[Dixielandjazz] Tunes with identical chord progressions

[David Richoux]

That is another thread!   What are the common "Traps" that can lead  
an inattentive band into the wrong song? Come on, confess - it has  
happened more than once to all of us!

I have a problem with "At The Jazz Band Ball" because it can slip  
into several other songs quite easily... "Big Bear Stomp" is one of  
them.

You can always back announce the song/mess as a medley, just like you  
planned it  ;-)
