[Dixielandjazz] PBS broadcast

[Snogpitch]

According to Eric Kunzel, conductor, the program will be aired later in the
year.

The title of the program is "Take Me To the River:  Celebrating the Music of
America's Rivers".  PHJB was not the only guests of the show, also
performing were Gregg Baker, baritone, Marcia Ball, blues vocalist and
pianist, University of Cincinnati College Conservatory Music, Musical
Theater Department, CCM Chorale.  Here's the rundown of the playlist:

Waitin' for the Robert E Lee

Ohio Riverboat

Proud Mary

The Lowdown

Way Down Yonder in New Orleans/Louisiana 1927

Crawfishin'

Beautiful Ohio

Down on the O-hi-O

Here Comes the Showboat/Ol' Man River

    Intermission

Bourbon Street Parade

Basin Street Blues

St. Louis Blues

Closer Walk with Thee

Mardi Gras Medley Last Chance to Dance/When the Saints Go Marching In

PHJB was only onstage from the intermission onward.  As I came back to my
seat at the end of intermission, most of the band members were already on
the stage waiting to perform.

Friday night performance got a double dose of the finale, as the Mardi Gras
Medley was played solo at first by the PHJB, then Eric came out and said the
orchestra and dancers needed to come out, and do it all over again.  Oh, and
they had to bring their "Pops" sign back out which kind of put a hold on
things until everything was set up.  Yes there was a dance line going around
the audience.  Yes there is going to be a lot of editing of Friday's taping,
if they use any of it.

Saturday's show will also be taped, but not Sunday's.
