[Dixielandjazz] Do Kids Respond to Jazz?

[Dave Washburn]

     2 points about kids responding to jazz.    1) I was in New Orleans week before last playing clarinet and sax with a "Banjo Rendezvous" convention. We played at a local school and the kids had a blast with some of the old tunes.  2) The kids around this area know that my repair shop/music store is open on Saturday afternoons for those that want to come in and learn some jazz tunes and some improvisational skill. There is no charge. Just come in with your instrument and have some fun. As far as I know we are the only place that does this. These kids really like the old standards. 
      I think the young folks would accept more jazz if some one made a point of exposing them to it.
