[Dixielandjazz] Re:Bored with unwritten rules? and new website

[Judy Eames]

In the good old days, Chris Tyle would declare a subject "boring" and that
would be the end of the matter.  Perhaps he could come back for  a day:-)

Talking of Chris Tyle creates a neat link  to invite you to look at our
embryonic website www.kaminskyconnection.co.uk   The "star" of our new CD is
a cornet  sold to Chris by Max Kaminsky's widow and bought from him on ebay
by Tony Davis.

Maybe this'll start a new thread .......instruments once owned and played by
the famous? Or has it been done several times already?
