[Dixielandjazz] Wang Wang Blues?

[Scott Anthony]

I think "Wang Wang Blues" is a great tune. It certainly has more interesting 
parts and complexity than a straight 12-bar blues. The first time I ever 
heard it was when I was a kid on, would you believe it, Lawrence Welk, with 
Bob Havens on trombone and Pete Fountain (I think) on clarinet.

We recorded it awhile ago on "Standards" 
http://www.santhony.com/ggrm/standards.html (You need to click on the "play" 
arrow on the Flash Player on this page to get the list of tunes to appear. I 
need to fix this.)

With some listmates, even begging may not help...
You don't need Whiteman - there are so many versions!  Not that
Whiteman's isn't good, but others are in much better fidelity.
After all, bands play it to this day.
Cheers
