[Dixielandjazz] dress expectations

[Cebuisle2 at aol.com]

Recall going to hear the Black Eagle Jazz Band years ago in Bangor, Maine.  
The banjoist had mismatched clothes on, but what brought down the house were 
his  socks, which he prominently displayed, one bright red and one bright green. 
 Corny ?Yeah, but the audience loved it!! 
 
Rightly or wrongly, people expect certain modes of dress. Would you take  
your illness to a doctor who did not wear a white lab coat, instead wore a  
t-shirt and cutoffs?? How about entrusting your divorce to a lawyer wearing  jeans 
and a fringed shirt, while kicking his desk with his alligator  boots??
 
Check out the record albums of LP's from the past. What are the musicians  
(or the models) usually wearing??
 
I'm with Tom-Give 'em what they  want!

still has a couple of red and white striped  shirts-)
