[Dixielandjazz] OKOM

[Howard Wiseman]

Hey, guys.  IUT = I Understand That.  Did you pay attention to the end of the message?  This group seems to be very sensitive to even good natured kidding. and I'll try not to offend anyone .  It took me awhile to figure out what OKOM means.  However, I must admit that political correctness in all things makes me uneasy.  hdw

From: Howard Wiseman 
"Our kind of music" implies to me an inate snobbishness and musical
bigotry..

The OKOM abbreviation was developed on DJML only as that, an
abbreviation....a way to get around using words like Dixieland, trad, etc.,
which got us into never ending discussions about what each of those words
meant to each one.  There is/was nothing more to it than that.
