[Dixielandjazz] Bob Cats Mid West Tour

[Edmetzsr at aol.com]

Dear Listmates,
    During mid May, the Bob Crosby Bob Cats  will be making a 5 city concert 
tour through the mid-west. We're certain that  the good people who worked so 
hard to put this series together would welcome  seeing you if you are any where 
in the vicinity. As a matter of fact, we'd sure  like to see you also. I'm 
certain that you'll be able to both listen quietly, as  well as dance your shoes 
off. You can bet that we'll keep our end of the deal in  terms of being a 
catalyst for both. 
 
    Here's the line up with some contact info:

If you have trouble contacting any of these folks, please don't hesitate  
getting in touch with me either by email or by phone (973-263-2980). Maybe I'll  
be able to help by answering your questions. We look forward to the trip and 
we  (all eight of us) hope to see many of you. We've got some special treats in 
 store. In addition to a nearly all-Crosby program, we'll be paying tribute 
to  several jazz greats including Tommy Dorsey, Red Nichols, and our own Nappy  
Lamare (with Bob Leary doing the Nappy part), during this, their centennial  
year.
 
Best Regards,
Ed Metz for the Bob Cats
