[Dixielandjazz] Joe Who?

[Tony Orr]

Nancy

The soirees sound great. I don't think anyone knows how to make 
Manhattans on this side of the Pacific.

Reminds me of the trip to the Sacramento Jubilee in 1982 with "The 
Australians" Jazz Band put together to take Ade Monsbourgh to the 
States. On the long flight, Ron Halstead who travelled with us 
recommended a Manhattan or two to help pass the time - he was a truly 
seasoned traveller and former DJMLler. Maurie Dann (banjo), Ron and a 
few of us went past the third Manhattan. The very kind staff kept mixing 
them for us until they ran out of some of the ingredients. We ran into 
one of the stewards in San Francisco the next day and he said that the 
airline had made a note of the matter. Sure enough, on the trip back to 
OZ, only pre-mixed cans of Manhattan were available. Not the same but, 
at least they didn't run out.

best regards
