Hi Gang. How did key pop tunes come into the standard Dixieland
 repertoire?
Who introduced 'em, or made 'em popular enough so that dixielanders
adopted 'em? <snip>

  If I understand the question, I would say that the tunes most often recorded by the best known bands would be the tunes we all heard and copied. Of course this wouldn't hold for the bands that strive to play obscure tunes almost no one else knows. JMHO.
