[Dixielandjazz] East Bay bands (was Barrelhouse Jazz Band - was looking for atrombone player

Maybe what this  proves is the need for a good regional band  
directory!  Maybe one of the local traditional jazz societies sites  
could encourage ALL current bands in the Northern California area to  
submit band name, leader, regular members, location, contact info,  
band web site, regular gigs, available recordings...  stuff that  
actually might be useful?  Keeping this info up to date would be a  
bit of a chore but inputs could be done with a simple web survey  
form. What would it be worth for a band to have their name listed for  
a year - $5?  $50?  Free?

I checked out http://www.americanrag.com/links.htm  they only have 54  
bands listed and they seem to be sorted by astrological birth sign  
order.
http://mississippirag.com/  has a lot of links but no specific band  
list and again, the sorting is very vague.

Maybe  the DJML or Red Hot Jazz website could be the host for a  
useful "master list" of OKOM bands from all over the world!
