Admin, you got a severe case of hipness π Seriously, this resource—your site—is a pool of diversity like I’ve never seen before. I grew up on Dixieland; from early 60’s til 1980-ish there was a pizza joint across the street from one of the gates of the US Naval Academy. It was a converted Buick dealer’s garage, painted entirely black with black lights and life-size cartoons in black light paint of Prohibition-era characters and scenes, captioned with all the classic sayings of that era, many from those film noire movies of the 20’s and 30’s. Friday and Saturday nights it was packed with midshipmen of the Academy and hippies from St. John’s College…… Annapolis was seriously diversified π
My father was asked to put together the Dixieland band there and suffice it to say it smoldered; the world-class players were also in the Naval Academy Band. I couldn’t play one measure of Dixieland but it definitely has a character all its own. Comedian/actor Woody Allen has for decades played clarinet in his own Dixieland band π
Thanks, man….. “esoterica” abounds here π
