[Dixielandjazz] Joe Avery's Tune

In the now somewhat dormant Zenith New Orleans Parade Brass Band (San  
Francisco Bay Area) we distinguished the two songs as  "Barbarin's  
Second Line" and usually "Joe Avery's Second Line" or simply "Joe  
Avery."  Sometimes in the "heat" of a parade I would just start off  
with the tuba introduction even before the song was called.

I also know of these:
"Victory Walk" (rare & old)
"New Second Line" (wrong, I think  - Barbarin's was  newer)
and for the younger New Orleans Brass Bands: "Tear the Roof Off the  
Sucker"

I just found this article: http://www.bestofneworleans.com/archives/
