[Dixielandjazz] Dixieland tunes

[Ric Giorgi]

One of my favourite quotes from Satchmo (I think I've got it
verbatim):

'If it get off the ground, it don't matter what tune you playing. If
it don't get off the ground, it don't matter what tune you playing.'

Cheers, 

Ric Giorgi

[Eddie Condon did not like the description 'Dixieland' and said, "We
called it jazz!"]

He didn't say that at all Grah. He said "We called it music!" ,
which would have underlined the point even better. But what can you
expect at 7 a.m. in the morning and having just undergone one of
those 'significant' birthdays.

Hey, what's wrong with 50? (shuffle)

I should have corrected that before I took the dog for a walk but I
just wanted to see if everyone was on their toes.

Best,

Grah
