Listened to The Soul Rebels - Sweets Dreams Are Made of This - YouTube -- my first time with this tune. Far out!

The title of this post unintentionally brought back memories of my undergrad years at UCLA (1966-1972), when I worked part-time as an usher and doorman in their world-class performance theater, Royce Hall.

After intermission, the theater staff was privileged to go find an empty seat, and enjoy the second half of whatever show was playing.

I was privileged to enjoy the unique performance of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, direct from New Orleans. If I remember correctly, there was a blind cornet player, a trombonist, the cornet player's wife who played piano, and there was an upright bassist, and of course, a drummer. These were relatively elderly people who seemed to have originated from original Jazz stock. They were all Afro-American, and, like Louis Armstrong did, they seemed to have Jazz in their souls.

They were not technically brilliant players (like Al Hirt, Pete Fountain, etc.); but they played a down-to-Earth form of jazz. For me, akin to Louis Armstrong's genuine jazz performances, these people played as if they had always played jazz.

Afterward, I went backstage and obtained their autographs.

It was indeed a remarkable and memorable experience!
