[Dixielandjazz] Sacto 2004

I noticed some differences this year which are probaboly related to the rumor 
of financial troubles.  Only one foriegn band this year instead of the usual 
ten or so.  The hours were cut back for the nite sets.  There were fewer 
venues this year, and I noticed that the old rule about people playing only with 
one group were broken.  AND fewer trad bands than usual and more of the other 
varities.  What did the rest of you notice????   Dick Redmond,  Palm Springs.
