[Dixielandjazz] HOW ABOUT EXPANDING OKOM REPERTOIRE?

[DWSI at aol.com]

To all the hard working bands out there, I'd love to hear your opinion  about 
what I hope you won't call a dumb idea. It seems to me that OKOM's  appeal 
could be broadened considerably by augmenting the list of songs played.  Does 
anyone venture into the 60's through 90's guitar-based repertoire and do it  in 
Dixie style, for example? When I played piano in a Dixie band we would  
occasionally do Broadway show tunes in Dixie style (even before Louie's Hello  
Dolly) and it worked. Am I stating the obvious that everyone does already or is  
there room for new experimentation here?
