[Dixielandjazz] Preservation Hall Valentine Card

[Ron L'Herault]

I guess I just didn't like the way he was improvising.  I thought he hurt a
good song.

Funny.  I listened to and enjoyed the version of "I Can't Give You Anything 
But Love."  Because the singer is taking some liberties with the original 
tune, I recognized it as improvisation and never thought a thing about it. 
Then read the posts on DJML complaining about his treatment of the song.

So I went back and listened to it again.

Geeze, if a Jazz musician gets put down for improvising, Gawd help us all.

It sounds good to me.
