[Dixielandjazz] Preservation Hall Players

[Bill Haesler]

Dan Augustine said: "......most of the Preservation Hall bands i've heard
are very very poor musically, very dated."
Steve Barbone half-heartedly defended the band with: "Hey, don't be knocking
those guys. They are deliberately playing like that" but redeemed himself
with "But to then attempt to transfer a personal like/dislike to the general
audience at large, well, that's just plain wrong."
Father Mike offered Dan his support with: ".........it doesn't ignite."
However, Brian Harvey courageously summed it up as a "ridiculous statement."
Now Jim Butler agrees with Dan "100%"
Why is it that so many Americans appear to have so little appreciation of
'their' home-grown music from New Orleans?
Where are Butch Thompson, Louis Lince, the Dutch and the Canadians on the
list?
And the Australians including the other Father Mike, Anton and Phil O'R.
Come on. Brian needs SOME support.
Seconds out. Let the battle commence and no hitting below the belt.
