[Dixielandjazz] SOME classical musicians

[Craig I. Johnson]

Charles,
As usual, e-mail is a poor way to communicate everything involved.
If you'd seen the expression of disdain, or the sound of it in his voice
when he said "he only knew legitimate musicians", it you would have 
understood that this was pure derision for non (or "il-") legit usicians
 or if you will, hauteur when grouping himself among those who were legit..
--- "you had to be there", I guess.
