[Dixielandjazz] Song lyrics + Brits

[Anton Crouch]

Hello all

A change in lyrics that has stuck in my mind is Wingy Mannone's /The 
music goes round and around/. Instead of 'Listen to the jazz come out', 
Wingy sings 'Listen to the mocking bird'.

This leads, perhaps, to a new topic.

In listening to various versions of /The music goes round and around/ on 
YouTube, I came across the 1936 performance by Henry Hall and the BBC 
Dance Orchestra. The British dance bands of this era swung in a way that 
was different to their north American cousins - closer to strict tempo 
and more pulse. A welcome relief to the relentlessness from across the 
Atlantic.

All the best,
Anton
