Yes that is true Ed,  in both directions,

Remember that the way Zydeco affects you personally is exactly the same way 
Dixieland affects the Zydeco fans and the Blues fans and the Bebop fans and 
Swing fans etc.

But if we can all get along we can have more income and expose one another to 
the various genres of Jazz and maybe learn to be a bit more appreciative of 
other peoples kind of music as well as our own personal preferences.

Otherwise we might fall into the category of being like the man who likes 
Brunettes so therefore would never even consider loving a Blonde or a Red Head.  
:))


Or the Woman who likes men with long hair, and would never consider loving a 
BALD man.

I like a little bit of most of it, except Rap.
Heck I forgot to mention in my earlier post, I even Like Ray Price, and Bob 
Wills music, Merle Haggard, and Mel Tillis too.  When I get the hankerin' fer 
that kinda music I just dig out my Cowboy Boots and Cowboy Hat and go hang out 
with the Redneck girls that like to ride Horsey's and are lookin' fer a nice 
clean cut Cowpoke that don't chew nasty Tobacco or dip snuff and spit all the 
time.


Cheers,
