[Dixielandjazz] July 4th. Music

[George Thurmond]

Open with John Phillip Sousa (i.e. Stars and Stripes Forever) and close
with a George M. Cohan medley, or vice versa.  I guarantee you'll have
the whole audience as well as the senior citizens standing and cheering.

Battle Hymn of the Republic.
You're a Grand Old Flag,
The Gary Owen  a.k.a. The gal I left behind me.(Irish Union Army troops 
in US 7th Cavalry made it a part of military band tradition.)
Any of the service songs - Marine, Army, Navy, Coat Guard, Air Force 
(incidently the Air Force song was composed by Frank Leisser.)
Some of the tradtional Sousa band tunes, played in a dixieland style 
make good filler. We  used to do The Thunderer at Jazz Ltd. -- a little 
chart by yours truly requested by "Da Boss", Bill Rhinehardt. (We also 
played Gettysburg March, too.)
Old folks like a lively tune. Tapping their toes may be all the exercise

they can handle - I know, I think I'm getting there! (:>})
Every day when I get up I  do some exercise. Lift coffee cup, lower 
coffee cup, lift coffee cup, lower coffee cup. In the evneing a do the 
same but use a glass of single malt in place of the Java.
Don
