[Dixielandjazz] Support Live Music

[Marek Boym]

Well,
To me music IS enough.  But here the comedy part did not detract from
the music - it complemented it.  The singer swung like hell, and had
good voice.  They must have worked out the routines quite well,
because ths singer sounded as an integral part of the  band.
Cheers
