Dear Dave,
I couldn't agree more.
However, as there was no smiley, I hope that you had your tongue firmly 
in your cheek when you quoted the Bonzo Dog's "Jazz: Delicious Hot, 
Disgusting Cold."
A great send-up (in the grand Jonathan & Darlene Edwards' tradition) 
played by a group of British studio musicians led by cornetist Bob Kerr 
of his own 'Whoopee Band' fame.
Playing it now.
One of the best humorous send ups of 'dixieland', that can only be done 
by people who know and love it.
And certainly not as cruel as  "Dixieland Stomp [Moldy Fig Stomp]" by 
Chubby Jackson and his Jacksonville Seven:
Charlie Shavers (t) J.J. Johnson (tb) Coleman Hawkins (ts) Harry Carney 
(bar) Teddy Wilson (p) John Collins (g) Chubby Jackson (sb) Shadow 
Wilson (d) recorded in New York for Victor on 4 Dec 1946.
Kind regards,
Bill.
