[Dixielandjazz] Lou-Easy-An-Ia

[Gary Kiser]

Hi again,

Can someone provide me with some history, insight or anecdotes 
concerning Joe Darenbourg's "Lou-Easy-An-Ia"? The Anderson book has it 
with this spelling written in 1949. I have seen it spelled differently 
elsewhere (without the Easy). Does anyone know the real spelling?

I had the great pleasure of playing with Joe when he did a master class 
at UCLA while I was there. Of course, when Joe was around, we never 
called this tune by its name but rather "Joe's Tune." He left us a 
couple of years later.

I have what I need about Joe himself from texts by Peter Vacher and 
others. What I need is more info on Lou-Easy-An-Ia.

Thanks in advance, Gary
