Recently I started to learn to play &#8220;Dipper Mouth Blues,&#8221; which I always think of as &#8220;Dippermouth Blues,&#8221; but anyway. When you learn to play a song you really start listening to it in all kinds of different and interesting ways, and one of the things I&#8217;ve really grown to love about &#8220;Dipper Mouth Blues&#8221; while stumbling through it is just how wonderfully the rhythm and darting pitches work together to create what to my mind anyway sounds like a small bird darting around.\u00a0 The song is attributed to Joe Oliver, but often believed to have been composed by Louis Armstrong. It&#8217;s tremendous fun to listen to, and even tremendouser fun to (try to) play.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"DouglasCowie\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Song%20of%20the%20Week%3A%20%22Dipper%20Mouth%20Blues%22%20by%20King%20Oliver%27s%20Creole%20Jazz%20Band\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each Friday I pick a song\u2013new, old, borrowed, blue\u2013that\u2019s been on my mind and in my ears, and write a short post about it.
