After which Dave Florence commented:

"What fun!  And furthermore ... think of all the poor souls who bought
Utah
Jazz tickets and got basketball instead of a jazz festival."

To which I add:

Yes and all those people who think Chicago Jazz or San Francisco Jazz is
a festival in those respective cities. Or that Jazz Jerry is a festival
somewhere in Germany instead of our list mate. etc., etc., etc.

I hope everybody who wrote nasty letters to Jazz Aspen had the courage
and common courtesy to write them an apology note after falsely accusing
them. In case you forgot, they never said, nor even implied that they
were a jazz festival.

Cheers,
