Amen! As a Dixieland musician in NYC circa 1950 - 1962 I can relate my
own dislikes of how Feather approached the subject of Dixieland and the
musicians. However, like Jim, I prefer not to be obsessive about it
other than to state, yeah, Jim, you barely scratched the surface.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
