[Dixielandjazz] Spirit of 29 Dixieland Band was Looking for aTrombone Player who can Read

[Bob Romans]

Elliot Kenin has played with Cell Block 7 in the past...he played with us at 
a watering hole called The Back Door in the Firehouse Alley in Old 
Sacramento before we started playing the Jubilee...I loved it when he sat 
there rockin' back and forth with his "Yamika" (SP?) on his head singing 
"Just A Closer Walk With Thee" in Yiddish! Plays great rhythm banjo!
I also saw him many times at SBC Park before and during the Giant's games He 
was sponsored by a clothing store...Navy...I think!
Warm regards,
Bob Romans,
Cell Block 7 Jazz Band
