[Dixielandjazz] FW: Dogfight? Indeed!!

[Graham Young]

I like those guys . They are who they are. Fun and the playing is good let's face it. Sort of like the Dukes of Dixieland. Is it a Kid Ory band , Condon group. No. I yam what I yam as a great philosopher once said. Love the intro to China town.

They (FH5+2) were guilty of being "too entertaining", in some people's estimation.
I think they were continuing the tradition of California being the warm, sunny,get- rich-quick, good time place it was at the turn of the (20th) century.
- When there was neither reason nor demand for anything too bluesy or profound.
I think they did a pretty good job, considering none was a professional musician.
Lots of people bag Spike Jones city Slickers  for being corny and superficial too, but not many musos could match their musical skills.
cheers

......without having mentioned that it was the Firehouse Five + 2.  Isn't it
amazing how much flack these guys have drawn on djml over the years (too
showy, funny hats, etc.)?  Just listen to that afterbeat!  How can you argue
with that swing?
