[Dixielandjazz] Fw: July 4th. Music

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Opened a couple of programs at retirement center this season  singing, "This 
Is My Country", short pause, modulated and changed tempo to  medley into 
American Patrol.  Worked well--plan to do it a few more times  including a couple 
of gigs on the 4th.  Also Battle Hymn always a  favorite.  We jazz up some 
simple childhood tunes like Buffalo Gals,  Comin' Round the Mountain', Darlin' 
Clemintine, Workin' On Railroad talk  about US history as it relates to these 
tunes.  Those go into a medley also  and are loved as sing a longs.  This Land Is 
Your Land.  America the  Beautiful
