[Dixielandjazz] Gus Blanchard RIP

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Saint Gabriel's Celestial Brass Band will open the first show tomorrow 
at the Solano County Fair in Vallejo, California at 11:00 a.m. with a 
New Orleans Funeral Parade in memory and honor of Erik Kleven who was 
to play some dates with us this week, and also sadly now Gus Blanchard. 
   Any listmates in the area who would like to be there and play please 
advise me off list and I will have passes for the fair available to you 
at the front gate.

If you can't make tomorrow we will be there every day this week and can 
do it again every day, since the New Orleans Funeral is part of our on 
going show, these sad situations and the loss of musicians just brings 
it closer to home and makes them more meaningful.

R.I.P.

Erik & Gus  and thanks for the Music.

Tom Wiggins
Saint Gabriel's Celestial Brass Band
