[Dixielandjazz] From a semi-lurker

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Hi Steve, I say go for it, dude!  We don't buy premium cable.  I  have 
never watched the Sopranos.  But that's just ONE thing that makes me  "old" when 
chatting with my daughter's generation who never missed an episode  what 
with all their fancy ways of recording it.  So, go forth and find a  way to 
reach their ears!
 
I was also just reading your comments about culling the Country  (Western) 
genre.  I have also found that Dixie instrumentation doing  country hits is 
a big hit with general audiences in the mid-West.

Currently, the one I'm working on, is very exciting and I'd like to  turn 
some of the band leaders on to the song, "Woke Up This  Morning",  by a 
group 
(I believe) is called Alabama 3...  To  those immediately unknowing of this 
song, it is the theme song of The  Sopranos!!!
(Woke up this morning, got myself a gun, Mama always said I'd  be the, 
chosen 
one...)
If you get a chance listen to it and I think  you'll see it has a lot going 
on in it - chord structure is simplistic to  the max - as I've been 
listening 
to it, it just seems to go back and forth  from the minor to the 7th (Dm to 
A7, over and over)  This kind of  simplistic chord flow is great to 
improvise 
on...  I would really  love to hear a jazz band work this one up!  First, 
it's VERY  recognizable and I think would appeal to all ages.  Anyway, feel 
free  to work it up and, as always,
ALL the Best,
Steve "Stubby"  Heist
