Thread Name: Concert 'in 1918'--song suggestions
Subject: RE: Concert 'in 1918'--song suggestions
Cool Beans: I've harvested all your suggestions from youTube and have listened to them a few times. I think Diane will like The Storybook Ball.

We could include Airship in a medley of flying or transportation songs (i.e. merry oldsmobile, Josephine and airship). I won't do 1919 for a WWI gig, although "How ya gonna keep them..." is WWI themed, so it might get included.

"The Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gave to Me" is interesting. I'll put it in my mental collection of early jazz songs that I could learn. May I recommend back: Shelton Brooks' "Walkin' the Dog" and "Darktown Strutters Ball."
