Washington, DC-based Southern Comfort played quite a few Dixieland festivals during the 22 years of its existence (1973 to 1995). "Muskrat Ramble," recorded at a festival in Montana, appears on the band's album, "On the Road with Southern Comfort." The photos accompanying this track were made at a number of the festivals Southern Comfort appeared in.
So did you guys play off of reading music? Or did you just need to know the chord progression and main melodies? How much improvisation/interpretation was involved?
