[Dixielandjazz] Jazz & Kids

[Steve barbone]

List Mates:

Here are some posts from under 30's kids who swing dance to Dixieland in our
Territory. Some are in high school (one brought her MOM), some in College
and some just starting out in the working world.

So, next time someone tells you the young people just don't dig Dixieland,
tell them to WAKE THE HELL UP. Following are just some of the posts about us
from early February and 2 gigs where the young came out for us.

1st Gig in Rehoboth DE, at one of the top jazz/blues nightclubs in the USA
on Sat, Feb 5 (200 mile round trip for these kids) and the second gig at the
Iron Hill Brewery in Wilmington DE on Fat Tuesday, Feb 8.

You can't possibly have any more fun with your clothes on than playing for
these young kids, watching how they dance and enjoy the music. Life may not
be the party we hoped for ... but while we are here we might as well dance!

Cheers,
Steve Barbone

Anyone who's ever seen these guys knows they're great musicians, and they
LOVE it when dancers come out! Those of us who trekked to Rehoboth to see
them last weekend had an awesome time! Go prepared for a workout, though,
their tempos are not for the faint of heart...!

(They might even give you some beads...)

That's right!! I LOVE their music and they are so friendly and nice. Last
summer they came to my town Prospect Park for a summer night concert. It was
lovely and enjoyable!!

I ensure you will have fun!! Love those beads.

Don't miss this band, they are great, the clarinetist Steve sat in and
played with Sidney Bechet in the 50's...that's right SIDNEY BECHET... in the
50's before we were born.

holy cow, these guys totally rock! slow, fast; blues to Dixieland, these
guys played it all the way it was played back in the day. THEY LOVE DANCERS!
everyone who couldn't make it really missed out on a great time. the next
time they play a gig y'all have to go. this is a must see band! trailer park
trio/barbone street jazz band.....is it ok to have more than one favorite
local band? If not, I vote for barbone street.

I totally agree with Straycat. This band is great! The leader, Steve, kept
talking about Sid and Katherine and Alex when they went down to Rehoboth.
Yes, the band loves dancers and love the energy that was being shared as
they watched our feet.

Thanks Mark for coming out. I had a wonderful time! Twelve of us were there.
I'm sorry even more people didn't make it. They are a def. must see. The
beads are cool!!!!!
