@MichaelDPorter Or maybe they just learned their music from playing constantly and knew it was a better show? I dunno, that's my bet.

No sheet music, you notice. In the thirties, white folks were starting to develop quite a liking for 'negro' music, but they still couldn't handle the idea that the darkies could actually write the stuff down and then read it. Most of them assumed that jazz had been invented in New Orleans by white composers, and the darkies had picked it up and learnt to play it by ear, because they were good imitators.
