Dipper Mouth Blues by King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band makes me want to dance a lot. Dipper Mouth Blues dancing has to be very different from today's dancing. Even though it can be a little similar and repetitive, it is still fun, upbeat, and exciting. I feel like my grandma would also like to dance to this song but wearing tap shoes. I really like the underlying instruments that do not have anything to do with the melody of the song. I think they are very unique and help create the mood. They kind of sound like a cartoon horse walking along with a little skip and dancing along to the music that is in the air of its perfect world. I am surprised at the end of the song when there is just a little bit of singing but not super loud or super long, but just right. Dipper Mouth Blues makes me want to travel back in time so that I could listen to it when it was more prevalent and people would not be bothered if I turned it on while we were hanging out. This song makes me think of mustard yellow and eating churros. All while dancing, of course. Something I noticed that is repeated a lot as a break of two sections is the song playing one, two, three, silent, one, two, three, silent, repeated. (One, two, three, are each of the instruments playing a note or chord.) If you need a good dance, Dipper Mouth Blues is the song you need to hear.
I really enjoyed how you think this song make you think of mustard and eating churros and dancing. Also I didn't really notice the one two three silent sections til you pointed them out.
