[Dixielandjazz] Zep Meisner

[Randy Fendrick]

The nice thing about Zep's is that you could buy instruments at a 
greatly reduced price.  Bought several for my kids while they were 
studying music.  It seems that he would pass on the savings to 
musicians.  Nice guy to talk with and, at that time, I didn't realize 
it was the same Zep that wrote those jazz books.
