[Dixielandjazz] Sacramento Jubilee schedule

[Dave Bilgray]

Folks,

Time to start planning for the Sacramento Jubilee.  Still the biggest 
festival of its kind.  More than 100 bands, in 38 venues.  Lots of guest 
musicians and special sets, as before.

I'll put the schedule on spreadsheets again, to make it easier to plan the 
weekend in advance.  The whole weekend at a glance, in grid format, one 
page for each day.  I've found it very helpful for planning.  I get to hear 
more of what I want to hear, and I do a lot less zig-zagging around.  Many 
DJML folks tell me it helps them too.  To get a copy, follow the directions 
at the end of this post.

This schedule complements the printed program, which lists special sets, 
band personnel, and other info.  The printed program doesn't have an 
overview schedule.  So I take its schedule text, provided by our listmate 
Bill Gunter, and arrange it like the schedule in the Sacramento 
Bee.  Unlike the Bee's schedule, this one is available in advance.

     Please do NOT post this notice anywhere else.

As in past years, it's very important that this be limited to DJML.  The 
Jubilee people are concerned that widespread distribution of this schedule 
would cut into sales of the printed program.  That's not an issue here, 
since DJML people generally want all the info they can get, and therefore 
usually buy the program.  But they've asked that it not be available 
anywhere else.

    So please do NOT re-post this.

The schedule will be in .xls files, using Excel version 4.0.  That's an old 
Excel version, for compatibility with other software.  If your system can't 
read Excel data, I'll send the schedule as tab-delimited text, which you 
can feed into a variety of programs.  If you're not sure what your system 
will handle, start with the Excel files.  If they don't work, ask for the 
text version.  Either way, the schedule will be sent as four attachments to 
an email, which will contain simple instructions.

So there are two steps to get the info you need, for planning your Jubilee 
weekend.
