[Dixielandjazz] Calling Dutch and Flemmish listamtes

[David M Richoux]

So even with replies from members of the group, there is still no  
explanation of the reason the name was chosen!

Is there some local cultural, musical, or other significance in the  
name "Het Fluitekruidt" or was it just something that was chosen at  
random?
