[Dixielandjazz] THE SURVEY

[Stephen Barbone]

Kurt & List mates:

Roses to Kurt Bowermaster for thinking of and taking his time to do a
quick survey.

Thorns to everyone who has suggestions of how to change it, what to add,
what to subtract, how to define things, how to spell, how not to spell,
and so on.

Kurt, thank you for doing it. Remember what George Carlin said: Rule 2
for happiness.

"Rule 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down."
