[Dixielandjazz] jazz in Australia

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Branson is in mid-America in southwest corner of Missouri in old  era 
mountains area known as The Ozarks.  It is known for being a  travel destination for 
families, country-western fans, and senior  citizens.  In fact I saw a 
statistic a couple of years ago that more tour  buses (i.e., senior travel) had 
Branson as their destination than anyplace else  in the USA.  Tons of hokum there.
 
Below is one web site for the curious.  The really curious should  also do 
web searches on Silver Dollar City and Ozarks.
 
Enjoy your cruise.  A short visit to Halifax whetted my appetite for a  
longer visit.

By the  way, where the heck is Branson?  We'll be in
the USA and Canada for a  jazz cruise in Sept/Oct.  New York - Halifax NS -
NY, then off to  Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria BC chasing more of OKOM
before heading home  on Oct. 6th.  Happy to answer questions anytime.
