Nothing wrong with that IMO TOM. The Sonoma Festival, Bennett et al, may
well be a development that hurts attendance at Jubilee. Your comments about
headliners, musical genres etc., may well have to be taken more seriously by
those who resent and resist "Not Invented Here" suggestions.

Times are rapidly changing. OKOM Festival audience is shrinking in the USA
Worse yet, maintaining "Status Quo" never seems to work out even in the best
of times. 

Like, where would IBM be today if their little signs had read "THINK AHEAD",
instead of just "THINK"?

It would be a very big blow to OKOM, and The Jubilee if Sonoma's choice of
headliners, viz. a viz. the Jubilee's serves to siphon too many Jazz
Oblivious customers away from Sacramento.

Has that possibility has occurred to anyone yet?
