This evening I was listening to some good old Dixieland music and decided it was time to share some of it with all of you.

In the winter of 1954 - 1955 I was at Ft. Devens, Mass. and we went very often to this bar in Worcester where the Dixieland band always played The Saints Go Marching In at 3:00 on Sunday afternoons. It was great when the band marched through the parking lot playing The Saints and all we Saints really got a kick out of it. Those were really good old days.

Great stuff, OldRoy :!: Satchmo and Dixieland music were just the kind of break I needed from the usual norm of negative postings on the forum :!: :thumbup: Thanks. :wink:

I love it...shades of Louis Armstrong from the times we didn't have all the MESS we have now...good soul searching music to make one feel good & rhythm to do the same...everyone should have at least ONE HOUR of it a day...

When I die, I have told my daughter I want that played at the end. I'll be marching way upstairs in glory, and I want everyone to be happy FOR ME. Praise the Lord.

Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" is another really good one.

" What A Wonderful World ", is what my step dad requested. Very beautiful. A New Orleans funeral is my favorite. The horse drawn carriage hearse, the somber music first, then the jubilee with horns and dancing. Of course even if I could afford it I wouldn't be hear to see it. Maybe I can do what Robert Duvall did in the movie, "Get Low", and have my funeral party while I am still here.

You might be able to talk the Lord into letting you watch :lol: But, don't count on that. :wink:

Those people always seemed to be just as happy for the deceased as they were for themselves. Here is one where they are just getting ready for the lowering of the body. Notice the minister who is also a sax player in the band. I just can't keep my feet still when listening to those people pushing that music through those horns.

Here is a little bit of my favorite New Orleans group that played at Preservation Hall. I remember that building from 1970 as being nothing very pretty to look at but will show a room like that was in a later rendition of Muskrat Ramble. The few chairs available in that place forced people toward the back of the room to stand up to see the performers. I found an old boarded up window to stand in and sure enough my feet just wouldn't stay still enough and I fell out. I got back up and a few minutes later fell out again. I just don't remember any white men in that group but the music is the same no matter the race of the players.

Here is a real great rendition by the Preservation Hall Band.

I have always said they have the right idea - a dirge on the way to church, celebration after. Maybe we get too caught up in ourselves and what we have lost. I'll listen now. Really enjoyed it, that's the way to go.

Ah, caught it yet at edit. I've played a sax, but nothing like that as I never had a lesson, but could read music.

Man. That's what I'm talkin about. They know how to do it right. From what I understand we are to grieve when a child is born into this fallen world and celebrate when one goes to be with The Lord. We are going to New Orleans in October and I hope I have the opportunity to attend a funeral. I lived there until I was 7. I noticed this particular cemetery had headstones on the ground, but the ground was on a hill. The reason New Orleans has beautiful cemeteries above ground is because of the water in the earth and of course they are below sea level. I was told they did this to keep the bodies from eventually washing away. That was great.

Many of those old cemeteries are below sea level and families had the sites constructed so the large kind of mausoleum could have the most recent bodies placed in them after the remains from earlier family members being shoved back where they could fall down. They just didn't have any choice.

That's not very comforting oldroy.
