[Dixielandjazz] Check out YouTube - Tiger Rag

[Charles Suhor]

Just informational, and checking...As I recall, the son of ODJB drummer 
Tony Spargo (Sbarbaro) is a DJML listee. If you're out there, I hope 
you're enjoying this strand. Tony was surely one of the great drumming 
pioneers, a fact known to many but unfairly dimmed by historians' and 
critics' rightful unhappiness with Nick LaRocca's grandiose claims 
about originating jazz and racist comments. Jack Stewart's article on 
the ODJB in the current issue of the (Tulane) Jazz Archivist has some 
fine, though in some ways odd, new perspectives on the ODJB.
