In Paris, you have to hear the High Society Jazz Band de Paris. It is an
outstanding King Oliver like band. They perform at Le Petit Journal
Saint-Michel <http://claude.philips.pagesperso-orange.fr/> (which is the
french Mecca of early jazz, not to be confused with le Petit Journal
Montparnasse) every third friday.

Here are some samples:

Another very good band: The Southern Stompers. They perform at Le Petit
Journal Saint-Michel too.
Samples:

The Paris Washboard is outstanding, but in another style.

I think the song has mutated a lot over the years - they melody is only
somewhat similar to the score you found, and the lyrics are much changed.

Dear Ross,
After finding the song link to "Down On The Farm" I was able to answer my own question

> So why do I know it from a jazz version?

It is on the Preservation Hall Jazz Band LP 'New Orleans, Vol. II' recorded in New Orleans, 3-4 December 1981 and issued on CBS FM37780.
I've just replayed it to check.
Nothing wrong with this old bloke's memory.

Bill.

Bill,

The Meters were a very good, very influential rock/funk/R&B New Orleans act
that formed 1960s and performed through the late 1970s. Some of the group
later became The Neville Brothers.

Dear David, 
Thank you.
While compiling my DJML reply to you and Ross early this morning (still out there somewhere in cyberspace) I checked The Meters on YouTube.
OKOM to me.

Willie Nelson: Let's Face the Music and Dance (Sony Legacy)

by Doug Freeman

Austin Chronicle, April 12, 2013

Following last year's resurgent debut for Sony Legacy, "Heroes," Willie Nelson returns

with full Family Band intact. The set captures Nelson again transforming the American

popular songbook into his own with the ease of his distinctly languorous phrasing

and guitar work. Starting in his birth decade with Irving Berlin's title track, the

Red Headed Stranger adds a flamenco touch that darkens the edges of his gentle reassurance,

which pairs well with the midset "Twilight Time." Absent of new originals, "Face

the Music" revisits Nelson's "Is the Better Part Over," spared the cinematic strings

of the original. Bobbie Nelson's piano beautifully backs "You'll Never Know," while

instrumentals "Vous et Moi" and Django Reinhardt's "Nuages" are classic, jazzy Trigger-pulling

from the frontman. Carl Perkins' "Matchbox" ups the tempo, and the band romps of

"I'll Keep on Loving You" and closer "Shame on You" fill out the sound. An exquisitely

contemplative turn into 80.

A Brooklyn Jester Had an Enduring Comic Brew That Was True
by Neil Genzlinger
New York Times, April 9, 2013
To people over a certain age it no doubt seems incredible that people under a certain
age have to be told who Danny Kaye was. In the middle of the last century Kaye was
one of the country's biggest stars, working his nimble, quick-tongued brand of comedy
into a career that bridged eras and genres: radio, stage, film, records, television.
For decades you would have to have lived in a cave to not know his work.
At the moment Kaye, who died in 1987, is the focus of renewed attention. It is his
centennial year, according to the birth date he used (though he was actually born
in 1911, as David Koenig, author of the new biography "Danny Kaye: King of Jesters,"
has noted). Various events have been celebrating his work and that of his wife, Sylvia
Fine, a lyricist and composer who wrote many of his best-known songs. The Library
of Congress in Washington has an exhibition called "Danny Kaye and Sylvia Fine: Two
Kids From Brooklyn" on view through July 27, and last month it held a gala to mark
the opening of an archive and Web site dedicated to Kaye and Fine.
A lot of the centennial attention has been on Kaye's film career, movies from the
1940s and '50s like "The Court Jester," "White Christmas" and "The Secret Life of
Walter Mitty" that captured him in his prime. His television work, in contrast, can
tend to be shrugged off, much of it coming in the archaic-looking variety-show format
("The Danny Kaye Show" ran from 1963 to 1967) and its cousin, the star-centered special.
But look more closely at some of these television clips (YouTube has a smattering,
and more are coming in DVD releases), and Kaye seems to have one of his fast-moving
feet in the present after all. Here is a Kaye clinic of sorts: lessons for young
comedic performers, drawn from specific TV appearances:
Break the Rules; Defy Expectations
Kaye's brand of humor seems tame today, but it had an anarchic quality that would
sit well in the 21st century. Evidence of that can be found in his first appearance
as the mystery guest on "What's My Line?," from 1960 or so. In a regular segment
on that show a panel of celebrities would try to guess the identity of a mystery
guest -- that is, a fellow celebrity -- while blindfolded.
Kaye turned the proceeding on its head, refusing to answer the panelists' questions
with anything but a nod or a grunt, giving false answers as often as true ones. (At
one point he tried to get the host, John Daly, to identify him as a baseball player.)
The panelists -- Tony Randall, Bennett Cerf, Arlene Francis and Dorothy Kilgallen
-- were flummoxed, guessing Harpo Marx, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud. "The most
dishonest mystery guest we've ever had," Cerf said when Kaye's identity was revealed.
Daly said the appearance was the first time Kaye had ever been on live television.
So from the start he was subverting the medium a bit even while working in its mainstream.
Play Well with Others
Kaye and Fine's daughter, Dena Kaye, of course has a number of favorite Kaye moments,
but one from television that she singled out recently in an interview was a duet
he did with Louis Armstrong on an early-1960s program. They reprised a number from
the 1959 movie "The Five Pennies," a version of "When the Saints Go Marchin' In"
with ridiculous patter lyrics by Fine.
The television clip is better than the movie version, both men utterly at ease. Although
some accounts have said Kaye could be difficult, there was rarely any evidence of
that in front of the camera, and certainly none in this clip.
"You see my father's ability to work with another star, and you never feel he wants
center stage," Ms. Kaye said. "He didn't have to outshine anybody."
That's a quality -- of comedy, of performing in general -- that sometimes seems in
short supply today. Practically every late-night talk show host could use a refresher
course: Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Stephen Colbert and others have a tendency
to step on their guests' moments. Their interruptions might be amusing, but probably
not as amusing as a shared spotlight would have been.
Incongruity Is Comedy Gold
It was the mid-1970s, and the folk-pop singer John Denver was at the height of his
popularity when Kaye was the guest on one of Denver's television specials. Kaye by
this time was well known for his work with Unicef, and he did a bit that began with
his telling the host that everywhere he traveled for that charity he heard people
singing Denver songs.
Kaye, a master of foreign and made-up accents, then proceeded to demonstrate how
Denver's songs sounded in the Caribbean, England, the Soviet Union. By the time he
was done, "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Sunshine on My Shoulder" and "Country Roads"
were in tatters, having been rendered in preposterous accents and rhythms that were
the antithesis of the syrupy Denver sound. It was a delirious comeuppance for the
somewhat pretentious Denver, one with which he happily went along.
Know the Intelligence and Tolerance Level of Your Audience
As Roseanne Barr found out the hard way in 1990 when she sang a disrespectful version
of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a San Diego Padres game, humor works only if
you can read the crowd properly. Kaye had the temerity to bring slapstick into that
most somber of chambers, the concert hall, and yet not only survived but also thrived.
His comedic conducting served him well for decades, and by the time of "An Evening
With Danny Kaye and the New York Philharmonic," a "Live From Lincoln Center" performance
in 1981, he had already proved that he could make classical-music audiences love
him. Still, watching this performance leaves you startled at its brashness: Kaye
made fun of the orchestra, the art of conducting, the audience and more, but his
obvious knowledge and appreciation of classical music gave him the latitude to do
so. As Seth MacFarlane perhaps learned from the reaction to his recent turn as Oscar
host, there's a difference between merely mocking and mocking as a form of homage.
Kaye returns to the concert stage, in a manner of speaking, on April 29 when he is
to be honored along with Frank Loesser and Jule Styne at a New York Pops concert
at Carnegie Hall. Assorted other Kaye events are also yet to come.
"My overall goal is to get the work out," Ms. Kaye said. The best of it is certainly
worth a fresh look.

Some of you might like to see the newly-redesigned official Peggy Lee site at

http://peggylee.com

Not much has changed content-wise, and currently there are no upcoming releases to

promote, but you'll find quite a few new and rarely seen photos in the galleries.

There are also prominent links to three related sites: the Midland Continental Depot

Museum in Wimbledon, North Dakota (which includes a great Peggy exhibit), a store

for the purchase of some Peggy swag, and our own Ivan Santiago's magnificent "Peggy

Lee Bio-Discography and Videography."

The site's own long-standing bulletin board remains somewhat active, and Peggy's

official Facebook page is well worth "liking."
