[Dixielandjazz] BG High Society

[Ron Wheeler]

Dear Bill,

It's a color clip that joins in mid-tune and runs for just under two
minutes.  I don't know the name.  Everyone looks to be in their mid-60's or
so, but still playing up a storm.  Sorry you can't see it, Bill.

Best,

Ron

Dear Ron,
As of about 6 months ago YouTube stopped recognising my four-and-a-half 
year old eMac (runnning Jaguar ), so I can't access the above link.
Which doesn't stop me being interested.
What tunes are being played and what other clues are there which may 
help to identify the origin of the video clip?
I've certainly got a lot to catch up on when I finally buy my new 
whizbang Leopard iMac.
Kind regards,
Bill.
