[Dixielandjazz] Trad (?) Bands

[Charlie Hooks]

Actually, I just want to say:

Any venue that refuses a Mike Vax band is too idiotic to be 
considered!   Mike does not play bad stuff.  He will not allow bad 
stuff to be played in his presence.  I've known him for thirty years, 
and he never has, never will.

Just needed to throw that in!
