[Dixielandjazz] Joe Avery's Tune

[David Richoux]

AFAIK there are at least  two different New Orleans traditional songs  
commonly called "Second Line" - Paul Barbarin's "Second Line"  and  
"Joe Avery's Piece" AKA "Victory Walk" AKA "The Second Line" AKA  
"Tear the Roof Off the Sucker" ;-)   (the one with the rockin'  tuba  
intro.)
