[Dixielandjazz] interesting review of film: "MARDI GRAS: MADE INCHINA"

Listees,

Are we interested in Jazz or Social Issues?

Possibly this belongs on some other mailing list.

Respectfully submitted,

PS - If we're going the "Socially Aware" route I have a ton of e-mails I'm 
gonna post in here from civil justice to Roe v. Wade and some choice 
religious issues too!
