[Dixielandjazz] Is 'Skokiaan' classed as part of your band's music?

[David Richoux]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skokiaan has a ton of info on this song  
- a DJ at KFJC (the station I have been associated with for about 24  
years) has done a long series of shows on it and I think the Wiki is  
correct.

I don't have a lead sheet but there has to be something pretty easily  
available.
