Only Experts qualify for the self nominations and they also have final say in 
all matters pertaining to Dixieland Jazz.

 Will they live long enough to come to an agreement?? 
Not a chance

Apparently So:

Apparently so Pat: All four of them, seems it is the only time and subject 
they ever Post anything about.  Perhaps if these learned experts took more 
interest in the DJML list and had anything interesting to say those of us outcast 
non purists might not seem to dominate the postings.

It is a darn shame that music meant to be Happy and joyful has often 
attracted some of the most unhappy people in the world who have become experts simply 
by virtue of having lived long enough to have seen and heard a few legends 
live, or at least profess to have done so.

Bah Humbug I say:

It takes all kinds of folks and opinions to keep a pot stirring and if you 
don't stir the pot once in a while when the burner is still on it will burn on 
the bottom of the pan.

And I have listened and played enough of it to know it when I hear it.

Familiarity breeds contempt I have heard, perhaps that is what has happened 
to some of our list mates who only listen to one style of music so long that 
they have simply developed contempt for anything else and anyone purveying 
anything else.
