[Dixielandjazz] Trad Jazz obit.

[Creole Dixieland Jazz Band]

DISH Satellite TV has a digital music channel called "NEW ORLEANS" on
channel 929 (available on America's Top 150). It plays roughly half Cajun
and half trad stuff. It's the main reason I upgraded from the Top 100 to the
top 150 (that and the Discovery WINGS channel - all flight, all the time).
Some really good stuff comes on. Hope it lasts.
