[Dixielandjazz] remembering the lyrics

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

That reminds me of an incident at a concert with the AF band some years ago. 
The drums were in the long roll before the SSB and we got to the first 
cymbal crash.  The drummer with reversed stick came down hard missing the 
cymbal and landing squarely on the cow bell.

After everyone quit laughing we tried it again.  The CO was fit to be tied.
