[Dixielandjazz] Hobby Bands

[Kent Murdick]

It's all about supply and demand.  How many plumbers will come to your 
house  and work for free just for the exposure?  My partner "England" 
Frank  tells me that in the 50s, Dixieland was THE music for adults and 
teenagers in England.  Virtually everyone who could play an instrument 
and read music was payed top dollar.  In fact, this was how he became 
interested in playing jazz. Then Rock 'n' Roll reared its ugly head.

BTW, look at the early Beatles and you will see this influence.  I 
remember learning these Beatle tunes when I was in college and marveling 
at the interesting chord progressions.
