[Dixielandjazz] THE SURVEY/DJML SURVEY RESULTS THUS FAR

[Janie McCue Lynch]

Thanks, Kurt, for your efforts and humor!  It shows that this "probably
representative sampling of the DJML" is, indeed, a composite of worldwide
music lovers!

And, just as an aside, "Mars" really does exist here on earth--it's a small
town in Pennsylvania,  close to Pittsburgh, and I believe it is in Moon
Township!  Steve?  Any corrections?

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."
