[Dixielandjazz] "OKOM gets kids interested in OKOM"

[Dixiejazzdata]

Absolutely correct Marek:


we were invited back for the second Year in a row to perform for an all Boys school Graduation in San Francisco last week

300 boys from 1st to 8th grade were fascinated with the music some danced along in the parade, and clapped their hands 

and sang along on a couple tunes they had requested we play  !.  "I can't get no Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones" which sounds pretty cool as a Brass Band tune by the way.

And then of course Saints which yes they all knew.   a little 9:00 am hit for about a 1/2 hour and out and on to play a New Orleans Funeral  two hours later.  Nice payday for the boys and home by 2:00 pm


Already have it on the calendar again for next year.


Gotta take it to them:  


But I have preached that sermon here for years. :))
As have others who left when nobody wanted to hear it again :)


Cheers,


Tom Wiggins
and da boys in da band

Sure.
When they hear it.  And after hearing it once, some will come again.  local
young trad and swing groups have their young following, mainly kids who
dance.  But sometimes, when there's no room to dance, those kids just sit
there and listen - and come again!
A lot of good music, by the way, in addition to your own, if one cares to
open the other videos as well.
Cheers
