[Dixielandjazz] "Man of the hour"

[David M Richoux]

Not gonna get in to a big semantic fight about this - I wrote  "Very  
old New Orleans blues flavor!" but did not specifically say it was a  
blues song.
A lot of the songs from the 1920s that had the word Blues in the title  
were not Blues, and a lot of old New Orleans songs were not blues (or  
jazz) - but to me, I heard some  "Old New Orleans blues flavor!"

that's all...

Dave Richoux
