[Dixielandjazz] For our Central & South American List Mates

[Stephen Barbone]

I think we all agree with that. It was the story in the New York Times that used "EL" and I simply quoted it as written. However, most of the information about this band via "google" shows "LA".

Maybe the NY Times writer was a homophobe? ;-) Or just ignorant of the correct form.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
