[Dixielandjazz] Re:"Kidd Jordan's Second Line." was N.O. J & H Festival

[David Richoux]

I just listened to the ReBirth version of "Kidd Jordan's Second  
Line." (that is the way Kidd is spelled on the album, "Kickin' It  
Live" BTW.) It is NOT "Paul Barbarin's Second Line"  nor a version of  
"Joe Avery's Piece" or "Tune" that is also often called "Second Line"  
- it is a totally different song. I do not think it is in the  
standard OKOM song list - I don't recall ever hearing any West Coast  
band doing it.
