Hi Bill,
Great to hear some Dixieland and nice to know there are some groups
preserving the music in the area.
I was born in New Orleans (Nawlins) and lived there until I was 7 years
old, so I kind of grew up with this music. We would also visit my
grandparents
in Baton Rouge every Christmas so that kept it going. Lots of fun.
I will make it out to the Last Day Saloon one evening when you are
playing.
Thanks for the update,
