[Dixielandjazz] Ken Burns "The War"

[David Richoux]

It seems to me that there is a broad spectrum of people on this list,  
and that is a good thing. In the 30 years or so that I have been  
playing OKOM, live as a performer, or "on the radio" I have met many  
musicians and listener/dancers who focus on "just the music, nothing  
but the music;" and others that also are interested in the history,  
the culture, the "whole milieu" (even to the extreme point of really  
living the Jazz Age life - clothing, cars, food, housing, books, etc.  
as much as possible! or at least what they think the Jazz Age Life  
was ;-)

Since the Swing Dance era and WW2 pretty much coincided, the Ken  
Burns film is going to be of interest to many of us who think Swing  
is part of the OKOM world...

For you "just the music, nothing but the music" folks - the delete  
button is useful!
