[Dixielandjazz] Youth Trad Band Jazz Festival

Bob, it's wonderful to see this get off the ground and hope it's a great 
success.   My check will go in the mail today.   Unfortunately, I won't be able to 
use the tickets as the event (2/11/06) comes smack dab in the middle of the 
Fresno Mardi Gras festival (2/09-2/12/06).   Hopefully next year the date won't 
conflict with the Fresno festival and I'll be able to attend.   I love youth 
jazz bands!
