[Dixielandjazz] banjo/tuba

[Rick]

It is apparent that many of our listeroos think 
that all of Dixieland's roots are in New Orleans.

Oh  Contrare!!

In the 20's, people all over the country were 
buying records and listening to the radio.   The 
most popular band was
The Coon-Sander's Nighthawks.   You can read about 
it here on Red Hot Jazz.   It was called
"The Band that Made Radio!!"

My favorite tune, and one of their best-sellers, 
has never been covered, as far as I know.

It's called "Here comes my ball and chain."

You an find it in their songlist on Red Hot Jazz.

Alternately, write me, and I'll send you a copy as 
an attachment.

After I get my Colorado Nighthawks website back 
up, you can listen to it there.

PS:   Listen to that banjo & tuba, and Carleton 
Coon's WONDERFUL splash cymbal.
