[Dixielandjazz] opening a can of worms

[Gary Kiser]

Cees, Pat is correct.  You shouldn't believe Lord Guntershmere as far as 
you can throw him.  Look, he plays the washboard; how could he be serious??

But, Pat, I must correct you, Mitterand couldn't be put in jail because 
he has been dead for 10 years.  Plus, he wasn't that bad a president 
aside from playing the accordion.  It was his son, Jean-Christophe, that 
got into hot water for illegally selling arms (American & Russian made) 
to african countries.

I just got back from a string of gigs to find a slew of DJML posts 
concerning jazz and jazz musicians in European.  I have a couple of 
centimes worth of thought to offer on this topic.  I will do so after I 
skim through a couple more posts.  But, I will leave you with this claim 
: I am the best tuba player born in California now living on rue de la 
Michodière in Clermont-Ferrand.

All the best, Gary
