[Dixielandjazz] Song snippet requests

[Phil Wilking]

I don't know about the rest, but "Bogalusa Strut" (note the spelling) 
probably was written by Sam Morgan. Morgan was a band leader on one of the 
1920's and 1930's paddle wheel excursion boats on the Mississippi River. I 
have heard, but can't prove, that Morgan gave a young Armstrong a job, which 
forced Armstrong to learn to read music proficiently.

Bogalusa is a town on the Pearl River which forms the lower border between 
Louisiana and Mississippi. If you have ever been in, near, or just downwind 
of Bogalusa, you will never forget the stench of its paper mill.

A library has hired our group to do a trad jazz concert in May, and the 
library M.C. has requested a bit of information for just a portion of the 
songs we are playing. As an M.C.,  I guess he doesn’t have enough jokes, so 
he’s stuck with having to supply some factual information...

(You know, the kind of snippets that band leaders often say about tunes just 
before the band plays them….)
