[Dixielandjazz] re Saints Marching In

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

Amen Ginny - I did a Super Bowl party yesterday and of course we played the 
Saints.  For others info I play a rendition of Yakety Sax while the band 
plays the Saints.  People really like that.  We usually do it as the 
instruments take solos and are introduced.

I guess the Super Bowl people just didn't have their cameras ready when we 
did it.

A bit off the subject but yesterday a show I was watching blanked out the 
sound as they sang Happy Birthday.  There was a black caption line that said 
the sound was deleted due to the expense of clearing the copyright.
