RE: [Dixielandjazz] si tu vois ma mère / Language offense

[tito martino]

Hi Charlie,

Know what, I agree with you.  I overblowed a little on this one.  I was
a little too much concerned because Bechet is the composer and HE is my
idol. 

Anyway I grant you, I am NOT politically correct and my spoken English
is ridiculous. 

What "Jubilee"? it's a Festival?  Thanks for the honor including my
tune!
At end I got my chance to become a millionaire!

Tito
