Thanx guys
As far as what tunes would I play to fill 3 hours? That would be relatively easy for me. Dixe and swing were my first loves for music when I was in about kindergarten.
My dad gave me his old portable crank phonograph when I was quite young along with 78's of Wingy Manone. Probably why I took up trumpet.
In 3rd grade for Christmas I graduated to an electric portable phonograph with 45's of the Firehouse Five Plus 2 and Bob Scobey.
My dad also had a very popular territory band that leaned heavily on dixie/swing. Even the polkas they did (Wisconsin, ya know), were played as dixie polkas rather than the typical "chip" throwing contest music.
Started my first band in 7th grade. Of course it was a dixieland band.haha
As far as tunes, I have a ton of them. Any standard swing tune from the 20's, 30's and 40's can easily done in dixie.
Here's a list of some of the possibilities that I had pulled up off my Music Finder along with some of the codes I use:
