[Dixielandjazz] Do you believe this s****?

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

23,000 interviewed huh?   Rich ones or Poor Ones?

Got along way to go, with interviews I dare say,  they didn't ask me ?

How about anybody else on this list did they ask YOU?

Guess Musicians are not considered in terms of richness other than 
enriching others spirits, and bank accouints of the rich and famous 
folks with deep pockets and short arms.  :))

Cheers,

Tom somewhere stuck in the middle Wiggins

  Money Can't BUY you happiness -- but if you have enough of it you can
