[Dixielandjazz] Grammys

[Richard Broadie]

Wish I could say I did remember and "in person" experience.  I have many
recordings done at some of those locations but would have rather been there.
Then again, I'd be even older than I am if that "wish" were true.  Guess
I'll shut up and be thankful.   Dick
