[Dixielandjazz] How many on DJML play?

[Dan Augustine]

Folks--
    I know there's no way to find this out, but i thought i'd ask anyway, as i like to know what kind of audience i'm telling my lies to.
    How many persons on this list play in a band, right now?  And how many persons are on this list?
    I would guess no more than a third of us are currently playing.  Sound too low?  Too high?  What's your guess?
    Of course, this question can be redefined endlessly, such as by asking if people play full-time (and make all their money this way), used to play (full time, half time?), play in a non-OKOM band, would like to play, etc. ad nauseum.
    I also suspect that a great number of us are avid collectors of OKOM recordings, of various eras and styles, and that would be interesting to know too, as we might find others interested in the same things.  I don't have any great faith that we'll ever know this information, however.
    Just curious . . .
