Yes, and their admission price is $125 on NYE, two shows.

So, the Big Apple has Dr. White & OLJB, Preservation Hall, Vince Giordano
and the Nighthawks, and Wynton Marsalis et al all performing on New Years
Eve, and through  some additional days in December.

Plus, the usual, plus Brian Setzer, and a few others. BTW, Setzer was at the
Showboat Casino in Atlantic City last weekend and did very well.

Looks like in the US of A, the East Coast is the "Happenin Place" for OKOM
this month. Who'd have thunk it?

Like the man said:..."Get around, be on the scene, play it clean, be seen,
be keen, and be over eighteen." - Willie "the Lion" Smith 1923

Cheers,
