[Mike C.]

A few were also probably some leftovers from vaudeville. A few later ones from Broadway.

>  As I see it, many of the tunes in the Dixieland repertoire WERE the popular tunes of the day. Others were written 
specifically, such as the original raft of tunes by the ODJB. Eddie Condon used a lot of popular tunes - Bing Crosby 
hits etc. What amazes me is how long they have survived as Dixieland standards, especially as some of them are not 
that good.
