Tiger Rag - Midlife Dixieland Jazzband



Hi everyone!
This is Eddie K, Your host and photographer here at Eddie's Railfan Page.

Call Me old fashioned if You feel a need to do so, but I have always enjoyed
listening to traditional American Dixieland Jazz music.

Dixieland Jazz band proboubly dates back to the early 1900's era, circa the "Teens",
and evolved from the once popular Ragtime Music of the turn of the century. This
up tempo and fun style of jazz music, originated in the "Crescent City" known as New Orleans Louisianna, and is a "Must" every year at Mardi Gras time.

I vacationed in New Orleans Louisianna during Mardi Gras in 1977 and 1978 when I was a teenager, and absolutely loved dixieland jazz music. Especiually when it was performed live!

Here is an ensemble I discovered today on the You Tube channel, known as the Midlife Dixieland Jazz Band. Here they perform a Dixieland Jazz classic entitled
"The Tiger Rag."

Thanks.
Eddie K.
