[Dixielandjazz] A Present

[rahberry at comcast.net]

Dear All, 
Regarding "Tutti Frutti:" 

This kind of music is not always appreciated by me. 
However, I thought Katie Cavera did a great job on a kind 
of music she rarely performs. 
I used to call myself a moldy fig, but I do listen to more than 
that now. Condon is my absolute favorite. Modern jazz 
pushes me too far. 
I just thought you'd enjoy seeing what else Katie and Anita Thomas 
(sax) can do.

Dear Rae Ann, 

You were considerate enough to put a disclaimer on your YouTube of 'Tutti 
Frutti'. 

It was interesting to hear and see the stage presentation. 

Although most of my KOM includes drums, guitar, piano, and bass, I'm afraid 
I need one or more from this group of instruments: 
trumpet/cornet, trombone, and clarinet. 

Without these I find that the music palls after a few hearings. 

I remember when I discovered 'mouldy fygge' jazz in 1947, I was told that I 
would soon progress to big band music, and then on to modern jazz. 

Now, after 65 years I'm still stuck with 'mouldy fygge' music, although I do 
sometimes listen to big bands, and even some 'modern jazz'. 

However, I'm glad that there is a diversity of taste on this forum, and I 
always try to appreciate listmates' opinions, even though my narrow, 
blinkered vision remains largely unaltered. 

So, please don't think I'm criticizing your taste in music - I often wonder 
what I'd be liking today if I'd never discovered the music of which I never 
tire. 

Kind Regards 

Bob Smith
