Playing this past Sunday, with the 49er Band, before the S.F./Greenbay game, our banjo player called "Little Town of Bethleham," which we played in a 2-beat dixie style. Upon finishing the tune the banjo player commented that whenever he's called this tune, over- the-years, players look at him funny, but, after playing the tune think it works well. He then wondered if other players ever use this carol as a dixie tune; I told him I would survey tuba players and see if anyone else uses this carol in this fashion.
Let me know; thank you.
