Re: The "tune" (Poullard Special)

Jim Pettijohn

When I used to play fast, I'd get plenty of frowns from soap box heroes at jams, telling me "this is dance music, slow it down"... Sometimes, my reply would be, "did you also happen to dig up Iry LeJeune and Amede Ardoin, and lecture your self righteous indignations to their bones?"

Nice and happy version.

And to answer the question, to me, too many embellishments "kill" a tune and make all the tunes sound alike.

cigarette makes it seem even faster

that;s good
it;s fast but good
that;s the bottom line

so what if you can;t dance to it?
no one said that to beethoven

the cigarette makes it seem even faster

or at least like someone from louisiana is playing it :)

plus i always tell my band "look. SOMETHING has to be the fastest tune. this happens to be it!"
