[Dixielandjazz] Young Jonathan (was: The Moodus Turnaround - By Ed Metz Sr.)

[Jerry Gordon]

We will be at the Suncoast Festival in Clearwater
(http://www.jazzclassic.net/) in mid-Nov. Will any other listees be
there? 

Young Jonathan will be there, too, but that's not why we're going; it's
just some frosting.
