Marable remained with the steamboat company and in 1918 organized the first New Orleans-based band to perform for passengers.

	Marable's jazz band moved to St. Louis aboard the steamer "Sidney." In 1919 they entertained on cruises between there at St Paul, Minnesota.

	In 1920 Marable and "The Palmetto Jazzerites" were moved to the steamboat "Capitol." Performers included Louis Armstrong (cornet), Boyd Adkins (clarinet, saxophone and violin), Norman Brashear, "Baby" Dodds (drums), David Jones, Henry Kiball and Johnny St. Cyr (banjo). They performed on two Dubuque-based excursions on June 20, 1920. On Labor Day weekend the Capitol with its band returned for an afternoon and moonlight dance. Despite his ability, Armstrong was only allowed to play a cornet solo with piano accompaniment on a song called "La Veda." His desire to be a featured play and singer, blocked by Marable and Streckfus, may have been a major reason for him moving on after three years. (3) He had used his three years wisely by establishing professional contacts that helped him in later years. In segregated America, black musicians were generally denied long-term engagements and lived by constantly moving from town to town. In playing to the white steamboat passenger's expectation of mystery and gaiety and a bit of danger from blacks, Armstrong developed his eyeball-rolling, handkerchief waving, hoarse yells, and scat singing act.

Captain John Streckfus, owner of the [[STRECKFUS STEAMBOAT LINE]], in 1907 hired Fate, Marable, a native of Paducah, Kentucky, to play steam calliope and accompany Emil Flindt, of Clinton, Iowa, a violinist, on his steamboats. Marable remained with the steamboat company and in 1918 organized the first New Orleans-based band to perform for passengers. Marable had "an ear" for great musicians and assembled the great Louis Armstrong (cornet), Johnny Dodds (clarinetist), Johnny St. Cyr (banjo/guitar), George "Pops" Foster (bass) and Warren "Baby" Dodds. Captain Streckfus often sat in on rehearsals and insisted the tempo of fox-trots be 70 beats a minute and 90 beats for one-steps.

Armstrong ws then only seventeen years old and only recently had decided to be a professional musician. (2) Captain Streckfus often sat in on rehearsals and insisted the tempo of fox-trots be 70 beats a minute and 90 beats for one-steps.

	Marable's jazz band moved to St. Louis aboard the steamer "Sidney." In 1919 they entertained on cruises between there at St Paul, Minnesota. A cruise was held for the [[KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS]] on June 19, 1919 and for [[ST. JOHN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH]] on July 1, 1919.		Marable's jazz band moved to St. Louis aboard the steamer "Sidney."

	In 1920 Marable and "The Palmetto Jazzerites" were moved to the steamboat "Capitol." Performers included Louis Armstrong (cornet), Boyd Adkins (clarinet, saxophone and violin), Norman Brashear, "Baby" Dodds (drums), David Jones, Henry Kiball and Johnny St. Cyr (banjo). They performed on two Dubuque-based excursions on June 20, 1920. On Labor Day weekend the Capitol with its band returned for an afternoon and moonlight dance.

Despite his ability, Armstrong was only allowed to play a cornet solo with piano accompaniment on a song called "La Veda." His desire to be a featured play and singer, blocked by Marable and Streckfus, may have been a major reason for him moving on after three years. (3) He had used his three years wisely by establishing professional contacts that helped him in later years. In segregated America, black musicians were generally denied long-term engagements and lived by constantly moving from town to town. In playing to the white steamboat passenger's expectation of mystery and gaiety and a bit of danger from blacks, Armstrong developed his eyeball-rolling, handkerchief waving, hoarse yells, and scat singing act.

Dubuque as recently as 1987 had two Dixieland jazz bands-the Dukes of Dubuque and the Dixieland All-Stars.
