[Dixielandjazz] non-PC Choo Choo

[Phil Wilking]

Whether or not you like the tune, it is a classic of its time. I dislike 
changing classics to match the momentary fad.

As for "boy" being "racist," ALL shoeshiners, white, black, green, or 
striped like a zebra, were called "shoeshine boys" regardless of their ages 
in those days.

Surely the opening, "Pardon me, boy"  (Boy!!!) is racist and these days 
unacceptable?
