Yes, how dress codes have changed. I remember when Dixieland Bands, in fact just about all bands, wore suits, or jackets and ties. And the audience, even the 18 year olds were likewise attired in suits, or jackets and ties. Today? Not so much. <grin >

No doubt the aging road warriors among us also remember when everyone on an airplane was dressed up and the men wore jackets and ties. Today? . . . Musical content? "Anything Goes"
