Musings For Musicians


1.  All Those Jazzes; The lineage of the word "jazz" is not a straight line; it is a knot.

2.  So Blue; 
About the name of the music and a little about the music.

3.   Bosom Bands;   Great female orchestras.

4.    The Song Circle; What they are and how they function.

5.  Away Down South In Dixie;  It isn't where a lot of people think...and it isn't what a lot of people think it was...and it never was what it was thought to be. 

6.     Puttin' on the Ritz & Womanizing; Harry Richman.

7.    Muddy Water & Puttin' on the Ritz; the person, the song, the song trail.

8.    The American Minstrel; For the open-minded only.  If the visitor is into political correctness (at the expense of historical accuracy), stay away from this one.   It implies that somewhere, at sometime, a slave laughed.

9.    Tin Pan Alley; This is both history and an explanation.
