Hello Listmates:  We have some fresh news from the "Big Easy".  We just 
returned today to our home in Palm Springs,CA. 

the daytime cruise on the Natchez has only a trio-- good group ,but only a 
trio
The Wed. nite group at the Palm Court is EXCELLENT.  It doesn't get better 
than Lars Edgeron and his Allstars.
Jaques  Gauthier is at Fritzel's on Monday nite, and still playing with that 
"edgy" sound
Apparently Maheu is already thru at the Palace Hotel --We went-- No Maheu
The Tribute to Louis Armstrong at the Bienville Hotel is a good show.  Not 
much about Louis. and mostly for the tour buses, but a good show.
The Jazz Vipors at Storyville on Fridays is a pretty medicore group.
Pres. Hall had a good sounding "Chicago Style" group, not playing trad, but 
Pop tunes from the 20"s  I was surprised.

We Had a good time, but as usual,not much in good trad.
