[Dixielandjazz] Orange County Classic

[Beth Villanyi]

Hey - thanks for that review, Ken. I'm so glad to hear your comments about
the Midiri Brothers especially, as we are having them for the first time
this year at the Wine Country (Sonoma County) festival. I'm definitely
looking forward to their act.

Cheers,
Beth Villanyi
