Folks,
The Sacramento Jubilee is coming, and once again I'll put the schedule on
spreadsheets, to show the weekend at a glance. I'll send it to anyone on
DJML who wants it.
I've found it very helpful for planning. I get to more special events, and
I am better able to attend consecutive sets in venues close to each
other. A lot less zig-zagging around. Several DJML folks told me it
helped them too.
I designed it to be used with the Jubilee's printed program, with its
listings of special events, band personnel and other info. The printed
program doesn't have an overview schedule, because its pages aren't big
enough. So I'll take its schedule text and arrange it like the schedule in
the Sacramento Bee. Unlike the Bee's schedule, this one will be available
in advance.
The schedule will be in .xls files, using Excel version 4.0. That's an
early Excel version, for compatibility with other software. If your system
can't read Excel data, I'll send the schedule as tab-delimited text, which
you can feed into a variety of programs. If you're not sure what your
system will handle, start with the Excel files. If they don't work, ask
for the text version. Either way, the schedule will be sent as four
attachments to an email, which will contain simple instructions.
Please do NOT post this notice anywhere else.
As in past years, it's very important that this be limited to DJML. The
Jubilee people are concerned that widespread distribution of this schedule
would cut into sales of the printed program. That's not an issue here,
since DJML people generally want all the info they can get, and therefore
buy the program. But they've asked, quite reasonably, that it not be
available anywhere else.
So please do NOT re-post this.
You can get the Jubilee program in advance. Costs a few bucks extra for
postage and handling, but worth it for the ability to plan. You can buy it
on the Jubilee web site, www.sacjazz.com.
Or send $9.50 to
Sacto Trad Jazz Soc
2787 Del Monte St.
West Sacramento, CA 95691
For the spreadsheet schedule, email me at dbilgray at well.com, with subject of

I'll send it out in early May, about the time the printed program is mailed.
