[Dixielandjazz] Forks In The Road

[billsharp]

After watching one of the youTube videos posted on DJML, I took one of 
the multiple forks in the road to listen to vocal groups and came 
across this one by The Andrew Sisters:  "Hit The Road" - - -

What I noticed was the all-female band being led by the lady conductor. 
  Were they an actual band, or just a shill, and not actually playing?

   it's never too late to  make a fool of yourself. . . .
