[Dixielandjazz] Flee As A Bird

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

In the 60's the AF band played for ceremonies each year on memorial day at 
Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.  The band had an arrangement of Flee 
as a Bird.  We played that and Chopin's Funeral March.  The hardest thing 
was doing a slow march like the Brits do.  Sort of a glide step.  I'm not 
sure we did it very well at all.  I was overjoyed when they lost our name 
for that gig.
