[Dixielandjazz] Jamming after hours - was Willie Nelson et al

[Mike Marois]

Hey Dave et al;

When I was there in the mid nineties there was a Monday night session at
the Welk canteen and a Wednesday or Thursday night session at the
McGuffy's steakhouse.  Both sessions were mostly attended by Welkites,
Vintonites, Tillisites, Williamsite, and our show.  

I think that all of the musicians that are capable of jamming OKOM have
left Branson a while ago.  Now Willie on the other hand has got some
great OKOM chops and his players aren't too shabby either.

Hmmm...I'd be interested in where that is/was happening, if it is still
happening. I played in Branson throughout the 90s and I can guarantee it
wasn't happening then. However, if it is happening again, I'd love to
get in touch with those players. I'm always looking for good subs.
