[Dixielandjazz] Old stuff that we cherish

[John Farrell]

"Have a new granddaughter of 16 mo who loves this music (I play ir for her,
and she dances to it), and you can likely imagine how I'll deal with
that..."

My two daughters (both married with kids) tell me that their friends often
ask "How come you know all these old tunes?", of course the answer is that
they have been steeped in it since birth. On the other hand after more than
45 years of marriage my wife Mary still hasn't absorbed any of it but she
quite enjoys Fats Waller, so there is a glimmer of hope for her yet.
