[Dixielandjazz] Dress!!

[Randy Fendrick]

The first time we played the monthly meeting of the Basin Street Regulars in
Pismo we showed up in Tuxes!  The crowd didn't know what to think.  They
said most of the bands play here in tee shirts or whatever.  They pleaded
and pleaded for us to take them off, maybe to the tune of the stripper, I
don't recall.  We still wear a uniform, usually black pants, white shirts
with jazz on them, we got at a festival.  Lately, we wear tee shirts, again
gotten at a festival, has a great trumpet with a flower coming out of it on
the front.  Anyway uniforms do work as it helps people remember who to buy
the drinks for,
