[Dixielandjazz] Maryland My Maryland - Was O Tannenbaum

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Much enjoyed both the Bunk Johnson link that Steve posted & the  YouTube 
below that Roger sent.  Jazz Banjoist, Bobby Grimm, was one of the  guests at 
STL BandJos Youth Band Christmas Jam Party.  He played a  solo for the kids 
of straight version of O Tannenbaum, then swang Maryland My  Maryland -- 
after explaining to them that it was the same tune with different  rhythm.  Of 
course, they had no familiarity with Maryland My Maryland,  but they enjoyed 
his soloing nevertheless.

Steve  and List Mates,

Enjoyed the Bunk Johnson version of Maryland My  Maryland.  

Getting back to O Tannenbaum, here is a hot version by  Pete Daily and his 
Chicagoans from a 1951 Snader  Telescription:
