[Dixielandjazz] Used to be about mouldy fig newtons

[Don Robertson]

I'd say about 80% Trad Jazz.  The rest is '30's and '40's big Band, 
Early Country & Western/Folk, Bluegrass/Fiddle music, vocalists 
(Sinatra, Keeley Smith, --lately Barbara Rosine).  Much of my listening 
is on Radio OKOM which is largely trad or classic jazz.
