[Dixielandjazz] Music for the Kentucky Derby

[Hillesheim, Jim]

 Kentucky Sunrise, the cocktail, promoted, as I recall, by Bourbon-maker
Jim Beam, also comes to mind and would seem appropriate to the occasion.
But back to music, a version of this two-step march by the New Colombian
Brass Band may be found on their CD titled "Thatsum Rag!" issued in 1999
(Dorian 93165).

Cheers,
Jim Hillesheim

Or Kentucky Sunrise...

It's a rag by Karl King, the famous circus band composer/conductor and  
euphonium player. Kentucky Sunrise is dedicated it to the trainer of  
her eponymous circus horse. I believe her name was Rhoda Royal, if  
memory serves.

I'd say that's rather appropriate for the "darby".
Cheers,
John
