[Dixielandjazz] A Question From Igor

[Jtnt at aol.com]

Igor asked:
 
<<Why do Trad Jazz bands play only tunes from the 1920's, 30's and  40's?...>>
 
But they DO play tunes from more recent times.  What about Blue Street  (The 
Bad Boys of Dixieland) and former Wooden Nickel?  Nan's favorite WNJB  tune is 
"Honey Pie", a Beatles tune!
 
And what about "Orange Blossom Special"? A current band has been known to  
play that frequently.  Why I even heard that same band do a complete  Bluegrass 
set once at Indian Wells--remember?
