All right now, we're listening to The Over The Hill Gang recorded at the Jonesboro Public Library on September 19, 2011. Great Dixieland Jazz, part of the Library's Fall concert series.

We heard "Basin Street Blues", "All Of Me", and "Georgia On My Mind". The Over The Hill Gang has been playing in Jonesboro for 40 years. It's Day Arnault, vocals; Harriet O'Neal, piano; Tom Mason, reeds, John Barttelt, trumpet, Hardy Little, trombone; John Long, drums; and Doc Keisker, bass.

Here's two more from this same great show. First a show tune everyone associates with Louis Armstrong, "Hello Dolly". Then Day and Harriet will do a Billie Holiday song, "God Bless The Child".

Now that's what I'm talking about. It's The Over The Hill Gang playing "Bill Bailey". They always close their shows with Gospel done Dixieland style. Here's "Down By The Riverside", "Just A Closer Walk With Thee", and "When The Saints Go Marching In".

The Motet did a special show on October 29, 2011, playing every song from the Grateful Dead's Jazz Is Dead concert. Now here's "Fire On The Mountain" just a little bit funky and a little bit Jazzy.
