[Dixielandjazz] Re: Country Washburne and tuba

[Dan Augustine]

Larry and orthographical others--
     Yeah, well, you caught me in a misspelling, 
but i believe i did allude to my bibulous state 
at the time.  However, i did manage to find all 
the right letters, in the right order, for 
'cervisial' (meaning "pertaining to beer"; this 
word is not in many dictionaries), but i'm 
impressed that apparently you already know this 
word.  One outa two ain't bad, under adverse 
circumstances....
     Can't make it to Port Washington in April, as 
i'm going up to Madison Wisconsin in April for 
the Capital City Jazz Fest.  And i hope to find 
some live dixieland (festival or whatever) in 
May/June when i'm driving back East for my 
nephew's putative graduation from college in 
Savannah and a family reunion in Pennsylvania. 
(This means i can't go to the Sacto Jubilee, 
unfortunately.) So, maybe we'll meet up 
somewhere.  Thanks for the note.

     Dan
