(>      Well, that's sad if the AFJS is no more, just when we need it.
(>      However, how hard could it be for various of the successful
(> jazz-societies to share information among themselves (and with, or
(> maybe through) us?
(>      Here in Austin, apparently the horse-latitudes of pre-1950 jazz,
(> we'd like to find out from other jazz-societies around the country
(> how to increase the attendance at our concerts, and also how to get
(> new members.
(>      In a town like Austin (over a million in the whole area),
(> modestly billing itself as "the live-music capital of the world" (per
(> capita?  who knows what ichor coats the tongues of publicists?), it
(> might seem that audiences are massive and willing, if we had but the
(> wit to a) find them and b) figure out how to shove their collective
(> noses up against sweet-smelling dixieland.
(>      So how about it?  Seems like other mailing-lists have started
(> from similarly humble sharings (the Nero Wolfe list that i've been on
(> since 1995 started with about ten folks exchanging email-messages).
(>      How do we get more attendees, members, concert-goers?  Publicize,
(> naturally, but how, where, to whom, how often, etc.  There are a
(> number of (more or less moribund) jazz-organizations in Austin,
(> haughtily ignoring each other, plus jazz-groups in highschools and
(> colleges.  Since we have no full-time dixieland-bands, we can't send
(> bands to the schools to advertise us, so we're probably dependent on
(> the usual organs of (dis)information, the newspapers, magazines,
(> email, and the like.
(>      We ain't exactly sinking, but we ain't nowhere near swimming,
either.
