[Dixielandjazz] Joe Avery's Piece

[Dave Stoddard]

Dear Listers:

Joe Avery's Piece seems to have been written by a most prolific composer named Traditional.  I have always known it as the Joe Avery Blues, perhaps from Preservation Hall performances.  There is an unconfirmed rumor that the real composer was an ornithologist and the original title was the Joe Aviary Blues.
