[Dixielandjazz] Why do people love bad art?

[David Richoux]

The Guckenheimer Sour Kraut Band was another fine example of this  
sort of thing - they recorded in San Francisco in the late 1950s,  
playing barely recognizable polkas. They may have been one of the  
influences for the early LTWCMB but  2 out of the 4 surviving  
founders of that band disagree.

That http://stevexs.tripod.com/comedy.html is a very good listing of  
comedy and novelty recordings! (I have many of them myself...)
