[Dixielandjazz] Re: Jazz? Festival

[Kaye Wade]

You are extremely Offensive.

Go to my website - I work all the time

You can surely understand how -when you advertise Jazz - then book no
one (on the only list we see - not the past ones) we could be confused -
or is it you?  Trying to get people in with false advertising because
you had good crowds from Jazz before?

Give me a break! My resume is honest - why can't you do the same with a
disclaimer at the beginning if necessary.
