[Dixielandjazz] Shameless CD Promotion

[Mike Woitowicz]

Listmates:

 

A short while back, I announced the release of my new tenor banjo CD "Ragtime to Broadway - Banjo Style."  I have made some of the songs available for listening on my website.

 

The 52 plus minutes of music on the CD includes solo and ensemble arrangements from the 1850's to the 1960's featuring the four string tenor banjo as the lead instrument, including tunes by Stephen Foster, Scott Joplin, W.C. Handy, Harry Reser, John Philips Sousa and Broadway composers. Some tunes are solos by me on tenor banjo; others are duets and trio arrangements and four of the tunes are with my Dixie Barons Dixieland Quartet.

 

The complete list of tunes on the CD includes:

 

Stephen Foster Medley

Pineapple Rag

Beale Street Blues

Coney Island Washboard*

Take Your Pick

Maple Leaf Rag*

Calliope Rag

Sleepy Time Down South

Pickin's

Spaghetti Rag

Dill Pickles Rag

Sweet Patootie

Stars & Stripes Forever

Yellow Dog Blues*

Nobody's Sweetheart Now

Basin Street Blues

Fiddler on the Roof Medley

 

My website www.banjomusic.biz now has links to the songs with the asterisks, and you can hear them by simply clicking on the link (if you have Real Player). Simply go to "CDs" on the LH menu and you will see the all tunes listed with the above three highlighted.

 

Both of my CD's are on the site with similar links. My earlier CD was called "Pickin' & Strummin' yOUR Favorites" and includes many OKOM melodies. It has 54 plus minutes of great banjo sounds by my trio, the Banjo Barons Ragtime Band (tenor and plectrum banjos and string bass). 

 

The tunes on CD number 1 include:

 

Alabama Jubilee

Blue Skirt Waltz*

Fair & Warmer

Dr. Jazz

My Old Kentucky Home

Muskrat Ramble

Alpine Climbers Ball

Silk Umbrella Polka
