[Dixielandjazz] Sad news...

[Bob Romans]

Hi Fellow Listmates...Elazar neglected to inform you of his father, Sid 
Brandt's gift to the music world...check out his obituary below...
http://www.reviewjournal.com/obituaries/individual_display.jsp?obitID=4439673
He and Larry stopped by my home in Lodi several years ago when Elazar sat in 
on banjo with Cell Block 7 at the Golden Acorn...Vice President and General 
Manager of MGM Records? Quite a substantial contribution, I would think!
Cell Block 7 is waiting for you to sit in again, Elazar!
Warm regards,
Bob Romans,
Cell Block 7 Jazz Band
1617 Lakeshore Dr.
Lodi, Ca. 95242
209-339-4676

Cell 209-747-1148
Because I play trumpet, I envy no one.
