[Dixielandjazz] Oh yeah

[Scott Anthony]

Geez, do we have to go through all this AGAIN? There was about a 3-week 
diatribe back and forth about this tune a number of years ago. Lots of 
musicians and fans hate it and lots like it. I personally like the chord 
progression.

As for the regular who gets up and leaves, any fan of the Golden Gate Rhythm 
Machine who would walk out because he/she doesn't like a particular piece we 
play isn't worth having in the first place, IMHO.

We don't do "W. W." anymore - one of our regular fans gets up and leaves 
when we do!

I see no reason to limit the "Oh Yeah" thing to that tune and "Dolly". Any 
of the hundreds of tunes that Louie did would be eligible IMHO. Tonight 
we'll do it to Basin Street, and maybe later to Swing That Music. Why Not??? 
The audience loves it!

I am all for a good rabble rousing audience participation idea like the Oh 
yeah thing and I am in generally in favour of anything to promote` Satchmo
.
However. Is it not possible to find something other than this awful, 
horrible, treacly, sentimental slushy nonsense, Wonderful World?
There are thousands of tunes associated with Louis do we HAVE to pick on 
this yucky tripe.?

Having once been to an American wedding (an experience never to be repeated. 
I didn`t know whether to laugh or be sick) I appreciate that there is a 
layer of sticky Hollywood induced sentimentality not far below the skin of 
most Americans but really there are limits.
