[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Jazz Band not Dixieland Jazz Band

[eighthst7 at aol.com]

So I have been thinking (always a dangerous thing) about the  idea   of 
calling my band a New Orleans Jazz Band instead of  a Dixieland Jazz  Band.    
Dixieland  has   become a  bad  word in some circles.  I think the kids don't 
relate to it,  and some others think the term is almost obscene.  Especially since 
 Katrina, and the world's reaction to the tragedy with all of the world  
sympathizing and reaching out to help,  it seems to make more sense.
