[Dixielandjazz] Simultaneous Gigs - Redux

[Stephen Barbone]

Not at all, I agree with Mike that the Assunto family is being ripped off by
the usurpers. That was never in question. I'm just saying simultaneous gigs
are OK and always have been in the music business world. I do not condone any
kind of gigs under the Dukes of Dixieland name by anyone but the Assunto
family.

Cheers,
Steve
