[Dixielandjazz] Just how large is the following for OKOM?

[John Farrell]

Ron Gable, who is writing a newspaper article about OKOM, said :

"One of the points I would like to get across in this article is that OKOM
has one of the largest followings of any music in existence today"

Having made that claim he then went on to say :

"is there anyway to get some kind of estimate of just how large the
following for OKOM is? (snip) Is there anyway to take a census of this kind
of information?"

I wholeheartedly support Ron's efforts to promote and publicise OKOM,
however if he does not know the relevant statistics on what evidence does
he arrive at his conclusion "OKOM has one of the largest followings of any
music
in existence today" ?
