[Dixielandjazz] Trivia bits

[Jerry Gordon]

Mike, and Bill Haesler in an off-list post, got the first one.

But no one (not even Philadelphian Steve Barbone) even guessed at #2. The
answer is: The Midiri Brothers (http://www.midiribros.com/). If you've
never heard them, don't miss your next opportunity. (They will be in
Sacramento this year.) They're twins who are not only great musicians
(more swing than trad), but also really nice guys.
