[Dixielandjazz] Performance "Order" of St. Louis Blues

[Mike]

My college group, and every other group I've played in, plays 
the B section first(The most recognizable melody of the tune), 
Followed by 'A' the Latin Section and followed by C.

It's been done so many different ways that you could pretty much 
do it anyway you want.
