[Dixielandjazz] EDINBURGH/AMSTERDAM -Summer 2003

[wormsturn at earthlink.net]

Hi Listmates!
I'm intrigued by the discussion about the Edinburgh Jazz Festival and other=
 jazz events in Europe this summer.  I'm planning a cruise across the North=
 Atlantic that will be prefaced by two nights in Amsterdam (July 28-29) so =
I'm interested in any tips as to where I might find some OKOM there.  The f=
irst port out of Amsterdam is Edinburgh on August 1 and I gather that the F=
estival will be in full tilt at that time.  I would appreciate it if Tom Wo=
od would look over his schdule and let me know what OKOM outfits will be pl=
aying, any time of the day since the ship won't leave until midnight.  On a=
 faint hope, beyond Edinburgh I will travel to the Orkneys, Shetlands and F=
aroe Islands and then Iceland and Greenland, Newfoundland (St. John's) and,=
 finally, New York.  I'm familiar enough with New York but the other ports =
would not seem to be naturals for OKOM.  But possibly, in the vast expanse =
of OKOM knowledge represented in this list, someone has some info on these =
out-of-the-way places as well.
Thanks,
Pat Briody, Trombone

PS: Yes, Steve Barbone, this means I'll miss sitting in at your Rehoboth gi=
g in August.  But, I'll be tracking you down eventually.
