[Dixielandjazz] OT: Women in Music was Electronic Enhancment

[Mike Durham]

Well folks, I can tell you this: if I could find a female musician, or a 
black musician, or best of all a black female musician to play OKOM in the 
UK, he/she woukld be not only welcomed by me and the other musicians, but 
also idolised by the fans over here. So, if there's anyone out there, call 
me!!!

Mike
