[Dixielandjazz] High Profile California Gig Alert

[Len Nielsen]

Hi Tom

That sounds like a party that should bring much attention to New Orleans 
music.

I am sure, knowing you from this DJML, that you have already thought of 
the added impact you could bring to this event with some public media 
attention. An invitation to the public, who are sympathetic to the 
plight of the nurses specifically and health care in general, to bring 
their umbrellas, beautifully decorated or printed with slogans and join 
  you for a fun time of music and demonstration. If you could attract a 
big enough crowd the media coverage could make this the 'PARADE' of all 
New Orleans funeral parades.

The TV coverage would be seen by millions in California, alone.
