[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans - the movie

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

I think they put the band in the movie "Imitation of Life" With Claudette 
Colbert.  In that movie they do a full size marching band with uniforms in a 
funeral parade.

A lot of fun stuff ends up on the floor.  A couple of years ago I was in a 
made for TV movie filmed here in St. Louis.  I was a member of a string 
quartette playing in one of the old Victorian mansions for a wedding. I 
auditioned for the jazz band.  The scene takes place about 1890.  I sat 
around all day in tie and tails that were too small and they ended up 
catching my knee, fleetingly.  Oh well that's show biz.
