[Dixielandjazz] Clues?

Hi Bob & All

Why is that surprising?  most of the Traditional Jazz folks either died 
or moved out of New Orleans to get away from the rain and the poverty 
especially the musicians that played the music, they followed the money 
to Chicago, New York, West Coast, and Europe.

Thinks those numbers are awful, try finding live Country music in 
Nashville, Tenn.   :))

The population centers they be constantly changing folks,  Most 
americans move every five years, we are Mongolians I guess by nature.   
People follow the employment in all walks of life,   Close the Steel 
mills and everybody moves to where they still make steel or sit there 
and go broke.

The Legends however always seem to be kept alive in or re-discovered in 
some Cities with new politicians seeking to attract tourist back to the 
area and an influx of money.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins
