[Dixielandjazz] Slightly OT - Theme and Variations

[David Richoux]

Very true, Gerard! I have that recording! However, Brave Combo were  
trying to keep it in a polka flavor, I think.

If you listen to some of their other recordings (not OKOM jazz. I  
know) I think you will hear some very good music. They have won many  
awards for their recordings, including several Grammies.

Anyway,

Dave Richoux
