[Dixielandjazz] Listing of Dixieland Bands

[Bruce Stangeland]

Tom and David,

As the webmaster for the New Orleans Jazz Club of Northern California,
I endorse your proposal and volunteer, as a test of the concept, to collect
submissions of URLs from any Dixieland band in Northern California. If that
works out, and is useful, we can think about expanding it. I already have a
page set up with 27 bands on it:

Wow.  I like your last idea the best; a dixieland/traditional jazz band
directory for the whole world!  How do the rest of you feel about this?
