[Dixielandjazz] Tom and Jerry Music

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

When I was young we used to call everything old Mickey Mouse music.  Hence 
the name Mickey band.  I have since come to respect the music and musicians 
that played it a whole lot more.  A lot of that stuff was pretty difficult 
to play.

I have been playing with a "new" band that has a very old book.  The band's 
name is "So Rare" and has a "Mickey" book from the 30's.  Most of it is very 
old and tattered.  Kind of like me.

I would have never thought that a band like this could even think about 
booking in the St. Louis area but the guy is doing it.
