[Dixielandjazz] obscure?

Thinking about the reference to "obscure tunes", I suddenly realized that
what one band might call obscure, another band might refer to as well-known.
I'm sure that if one were to compare our set lists with someone else's, you
might find we play some unusual, if not obscure stuff.  That is probably
because we stray often into the swing & big band arena.  So, although we do
Muscrat Ramble, Doctor Jazz, etc., we also do Moonglow, Honeysuckle Rose,
Blue & Sentimental, Doxy, Paper Moon, Out of Nowhere, etc.  None of those
are particularly obscure, but would not normally be in the U.S. Dixieland
list.
