[Dixielandjazz] Barrelhouse Jazz Band - was looking for a trombone player

[David Richoux]

Wouldn't Fog City Stompers be more of a "South Bay / San Jose  band?

It is hard to pin a lot of this geographic distinction down - maybe  
if 75% of the "regular" band members live in a particular region or  
just the leader?
