[Rob McCallum]

Hello Steve,

I'm getting ready to launch a new working traditional jazz band in the Metro 
Detroit area.  If you're looking to play for free in the Midwest, I kindly 
ask you not to come to Michigan.

Thanking you in advance,
Rob McCallum

>My group may be slightly unique.  24 of us played in a couple of

>broke up, driven by jobs, children and transfers out of Missouri.

>We are now known as the Reunion Jazz Band, "The Band Is Back"-- and
>we have a few gigs throughout the year.  Our biggest is
>participating in Fair St. Louis over the July Fourth (Independence
>Day) holiday.  We just completed our second year, and, I must admit,
>to rave reviews, with us playing in the 73-entry (including 28
>decorated floats, 18 large helium balloons and 6 marching bands)
>parade and then playing off the South leg of the Gateway Arch most

>actually, we were the warmup band for Theo Peoples , lead singer of
>the Four Tops.

>We are not very polished, due to the fact that some of us do not see
>other but once every 10 years or so!  So, it takes awhile for those
>who play, to jell.  We hope to get to work on a CD in 2006, if we
>can assemble enough musicians to make up at least a basic Dixieland
>eight.

>You can view our web page at Shingle Shakers.com.  We will soon have
>a link for Reunion Jazz Band.  There are no MP3's or RealAudio yet,
>(as we really aren't ready) but that will come.

>Thanks for your offer.  If you decide not to include the RJB yet, I
>would certainly understand.
