Listmates, there are NO 'Dixieland' tunes, only Dixieland bands! What
they PLAY is Dixieland! Ever listen to "Kenny Ball Plays British"?
British folk songs, pops, marches, etc. i.e. Men of Harlech,
Lincolnshire Poacher, Scotland the Brave, British Grenadiers, etc. Most
of them swing, particularly British Grenadiers. And they are delightful
to hear! None of them are remotely close to the American Dixieland
oeuvre (sp). My opinion.
