[Dixielandjazz] He's Famous in Brazil

[Steve barbone]

Just back from a gig at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square PA. Beautiful
1000 acre venue, with 20 indoor gardens too. Nationally famous attraction
for lovers of horticulture.

Had 481 in the audience at the performing arts pavilion and at the end, a
young man came up and asked me to sign 2 CDs that he bought. "Please
inscribe one to Jacob and one to Marto" he asked. I did so and asked where
he was from, having detected a slight accent.

"Brazil", he replied, "going back home tomorrow."

"Do you like jazz?" I asked.

"Yes" he replied. 

So I asked him if he knew of Tito Martino, a Brazilian jazz musician.

"Tito Martino", he replied is very famous in Brazil. "He recently opened a
jazz club in Sao Paulo. I have been there."

SMALL WORLD.

Cheers,
Steve

PS to Tito: His first name is Jacob, sorry I didn't get the last name. About
30 years old, tall and thin. Say hello for me if he mentions our meeting.
