[Dixielandjazz] Closing the lid a little

[Cees van den Heuvel]

This is also strengthening my argument.
We, Europeans and the rest of the world :),
embraced the American heritage and took
it to another level. That includes the audiences.
Seeing that point might wake up American musicians
and audiences (In Germany e.g. from 15-80+!)
 Broaden your horizons and everybody benefits.
I "preached" that in the Dutch way (Jerking as
Bill Gunter explained to me- does he have Dutch
forefathers? :) ) May be I'll get my drift along at last.

Back from Fishing for a minute:

I just have this to say about that:

My band always plays at a higher level in Europe than the USA for two 
reasons,

#1.  They Pay a Lot better and the audiences respond much more 
enthusiastically

#2.  More importantly they build the stages higher,thus automatically 
making us play at a higher level :))


back to lurking and looking for fresh bait :))
Cheers,
