[Dixielandjazz] Singin' the Blues

[David Richoux]

To see this set of rules broken in full force, be sure to listen to  
Martin Mull's 1973 "Straight Talk About The Blues / Ukulele Blues" on  
LP "Martin Mull And His Fabulous Furniture In Your Living Room," or  
CD "Mulling It Over: A Musical Oeuvre-View Of Martin Mull" (and maybe  
a few other re-issues.)

(Not the Ukulele Blues you may have heard before ;-)
