[Dixielandjazz] Trad jazz streaming on Internet radio

[Fred Hoeptner]

I don't know whether you are aware, but some of the best in obscure trad 
jazz, and occasionally some swing, is streamed by a little station that one 
would never suspect of such solecism, npr station KRWG, Las Cruces, New 
Mexico (90.7 for those of you living in the area).  Fred Dabney hosts the 
show, and he comments on the pieces played from an obvious wealth of 
knowledge of the genres.  Tune to www.krwgfm.org on Saturday evenings from 
8:00 p.m. until midnight  Mountain Time.  For me the program is a real oasis 
among the dross.
