[Dixielandjazz] FW: What?

[Marek Boym]

Reminds me of a story we were told at the monthly "musical enrichment"
concert at school in Poland when I was little.  In the late 1940's, a
group of musicians was travelling to a school concert; among their
instruments there was a bassoon.  In those days, there were still
anti-communist partisans in the forests, and gangs of Ukrainian
nationalists were trying to escape trials for collaboration with the
NAZIs and get to the West.  At a remote train station the musicians
were arrested, and it took them a long time to explain that the
bassoon was a musical instrument, not a macine gun!
Cheers
