[Dixielandjazz] McQuaid's Rhythmakers/cartoons

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Again Gentlemen:

  Let me state that all terms of description are not necessarily 
derogatory at all, We get some of the finest sippin whisky in the world 
from Kentucky and Tennessee squeezed from Corn. :))

  Just because it's a bit corny sounding to some, don't mean it's Bad or 
not enjoyable to others :))

 Cheers,

 Tom

 Dear Charlie,
 You were doing very well until you said:
  "I call them‹take a deep breath‹mostly corny. As mentioned earlier, we 
just
  don¹t have an untainted vocabulary to apply to those old-style bands. 
It¹s
  not ³early jazz² in the sense that Oliver, Louis, the NORK, etc. were. 
We¹ve
 inherited terms like ³corn,² ³razzmatazz,² ³Mickey Mouse,² and ³cartoon
  music.² If we could adopt a term like ³razzmatazz² or defuse ³corn² of 
it¹s
  pejorative connotations, those terms might be generic descriptors of 
the
 music we¹re talking about."
 But I forgive you.

 Kind regards,
 Bill.
