[Dixielandjazz] gangster songs/tunes

[Ron L'Herault]

Also, Buddy Bolden's Blues ...I thought I heard Judge Fogarty Say, 30 days
in the market take him away...

And there is the Ellington piece, Big House Blues.
I'm pretty sure Bessie Smith sang a couple or so blues tunes with jail
themes.

Mr. Johnson is quite early and pleasant.  Oh, Mister Johnson turn me loose.
Don't put me in the calaboose. Oh, Mr. Johnson, I'll be good.  Etc.

The Prisoner's Song, of course.  Now if I had the wings of an angel, over
these prison walls, I would fly. I'd fly to the arms of my poor darlin' and
then I'd be willing to die.

Hope this helps.

Ron L

If you can find it and have a vocalist -- Lookout for Jimmy Valentine (He
was a safecracker). Not Dixieland but works.

I'll be glad when you're dead you Rascal you.

Hi everyone,

I would like ideas of songs/tunes to play at a local restaurant called 'Al
Capone's' for a gangsters & moll night.

Any unusual tunes/songs that would suit the night.

Regards,

Colin Toomer
