Yep, it was the same year... I remember Art - a guy came up from the =
audience and says "I really love your playing, Mr. Hodes" but he =
pronounced it "hoads" and, boy, did Art correct him! I'm sure you can =
imagine... Wonderful time!!! and some great performers!!!
All my best,

Hi, gang,
This reminds me of the Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville =
ragtime
"symposium" at which I was asked to perform. The only thing they =
didn't
tell me was that I was on the program AFTER Eubie Blake! Man, talk =
about a
hard act to follow!
I don't know whtat year you were there but I was also at Southern =
Ill for a Jazzz program that included Eubie Blake. I was with Art =
Hodes's group which included Jimmy McPartland and others. I remember =
well that Eubie confused and enchanted everyone when=20
