[Dixielandjazz] How did key tunes get into the standard dixieland repertoire? (Marty Nichols)

[Graham Martin]

"It's not enough to identify the tunes as pop tunes. "I'm looking over a
4-leaf clover" was recorded by Goldkette and Al Jolson, but not picked up
by jazzers, yet it was a well-known "sing-along" tune even in the 50s".

--Sheik

Hey, my band The Southern Bay Stompers plays it and it has always been in the Brit and Aussie repertoires of most bands. It is good enough for me that Bix was on that Goldkette version.

Best,
