[Dixielandjazz] Swingin' Beethoven

[Bill Gunter]

Hi all,

Von der Plas is, of course, correct in that Beethoven's middle name is "van" 
und nicht "von."

Possibly the reason I screwed it up is because I found the 7th symphony to 
be quite moving . . .

Get it? "Moving Van"

OK, that tears it! I'm outa here!
