Antonio Maggio's "I Got the Blues" was the first song to have 'blues' in the title. We'll also sit down with Michela Musolino to discuss the ancient roots of the Sonnet and how the legendary Orbi of Sicily could have been one of the origin stories for the present day Second Line tradition in New Orleans. Next, we visit Mo's Chalet in Metairie, LA to discuss the history and lasting influence of the original Dukes of Dixieland with band manager Deano Assunto. Deano is proud to continue his family's legacy, now into it's 5th generation. The original Dukes of Dixieland band was started by Frank and Freddie Assunto, two brothers educated and inspired by their father Papa "Jac" Assunto. Pete Fountain got his start and with Dukes and Louis Armstrong recorded great music with them as well. We also hear the fantastic voice of Lexie Assunto, The Assunto Duke's vocalist, and how Betty Owens Assunto (aka The Duchess) influenced her musical development.
