[Dixielandjazz] Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 48, Issue 63

[EDWIN COLTRIN]

Us pesky oldsters ( WW II), me in particular, enjoyed every set you performed in San Diego, especially the final set on clarinet. 
   
  For me it is not nostalgia, but an appreciation of listening to the music. I was weaned on the YBJB in the early 40's and have never looked bck at what was. Only looking forward to hearing swinging good OKOM. Some bands have and others just don't. I don't criticize what bands didn't do it for me, I just watch and listen to those that do.

Hmm. Well, I guess that's one way of looking at it. Those pesky oldsters
will soon be history. I guess you probably don't mean it that way -- I
believe you when you say you don't mean to be flip -- but for me anybody who
shows up to hear me play deserves my gratitude. I don't care why they come,
I just want them to be glad they did.
