Now Playing... When The Saints Come Marching In

A Note From Eydie...

Living in the Bronx, New York, we heard our music on the radio. On Saturdays, all the kids would get a good breakfast and a paper sack packed with a sandwich, a few cookies and some fruit...enough to last the whole day and get you through a double feature... (two movies) and a 'serial' like "The Lone Ranger and Tonto" to be continued the following week. The closing was teh latest news and coming attractions.

When the movie was a really good musical...we sat and watched it all over again. They really knew how to sell a song. They sang it, they danced to it, and they played it in the background..so that by the time you were walking back home you knew almost every word and every little dance step.

Very soon afterward, on the radio, we would hear the great songs being performed by the big bands like Benny Goodman, The Dorsey Brothers, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Hoagy Carmichael, Louis Armstrong, Bunny Berigan, Ziggie Elman, Fletcher Henderson, Klezmer, Scott Joplin, Irving Berlin and by the great vocalists and free form soloists like Louis Armstrong and Jimmy Durante who played Dixieland piano with "The New York Jazz Band" playing "Ja-Da" and "Shimmy Like My Sister Kate."

When I was three years old, my mom took me to a radio show audition and I sang her favorite song... "Underneath the Harlem Moon" by Fletcher Henderson. However, since her English wasn't too terrific...she taught it to me as "Underneath the "Honey Moon"...my first introduction to 'Dixieland Music'...But...who knew?

Trying to learn all I could about Dixieland and it's origins...I see it would take thousands of awesome and mind boggling hours of study of this truly great music and its history and its proponents to properly write about the research over 100 years of fabulous music and art involved.

I feel so privileged to have been around in the time our parents and peers found it so important for us to learn about all the things that came long before us. History is really "cool!"

Magnolia blossoms smell sweeter and mint juleps are so much cooler when you discover 'Dixie.'

Enjoy,

Eydie
