[Dixielandjazz] banjo/tuba

[Dixiejazzdata]

 Ahhhh come on Rick:    EVERY real DIXIELAND Musician and critic KNOWS
 it was invented by the Original Dixieland Band in New Orleans.

Don't confuse Historical facts,  :))

Of course they made Radio, along with the ODJB, because the radio stations would not play Black
New Orleans Jazz.  And no major Record label would even record Black Jazz musicians in the same era.

Probably because they had no Black folks toilets or drinking fountains in their radio stations or recording studios.

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.
