[Dixielandjazz] Geodixie

[Daniel S. Augustine]

    Yes!  Very good!  I presume that it would be mainly Australian bands who play these tunes, eh?  And they are (ahem) OKOMical (so to speak) in style?  Do you know of any recordings that have (some of) these songs on them?

P. S. "bugrit"?  Leaving out an internal 'ger ', perhaps?

>   BUT!  How to do it from Hindustan?  Go east or west?  Go up from "At the Indian Cabaret" singing the "Song of the Volga Boatman" to see "Midnight in Moscow", but then how do you get through Poland and Germany (i'm not sure if "Georgia on My Mind" is cheating, referring to the SSR)? "A Love Tale of Alsace Lorranie"? Once past that, of course, you could do "Copenhagen" and the "London Blues", then a dixieland arrangement of "Over the Waves" maybe, to get to the USA.  Going the other way might be easier: Oriental Strut, March of the Siamese Children, China Boy, Bali Hai, to Australia and "The Road to Gundagai", but then where?

You could TURN RIGHT AT NEW SOUTH WALES or use the TASMAN BRIDGE. If all else fails try a BIG WALKABOUT or say bugrit I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE. If you get lost ask  IS THAT THE WAY?

Best wishes
