Someone asked about Bill Bailey & its chord progressions. Off the top of my
head, here is a short list of tunes with the exact same progression.(or
close to it like Hindustan) There are many others. I used to have a list of
51 tunes that use the same progression but can't locate it at the moment.

One could do an entire Dixieland Concert (or 2) with those songs.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
