[Dixielandjazz] Charts learning and records

[Phil O'Rourke]

John Petters said/asked

Art Hodes told me he wanted to play and record at the age of 85 because he
still had
something to say. When asked why he was still playing at his age he said,
"Because I have to". Do many musicians to day have that commitment?


Australia's Graeme Bell recently turned 90. He is doing five concerts this
week, about 800 miles from end to the other.
I think there are still some commited people.
