[Dixielandjazz] Band Promotion

[mmckay]

 I would be interested in knowing who else plays with what other groups. I'm
a newbie in terms of the list (sort of. I was on in the 90's for a while)
and haven't had much opportunity to get out and hear groups in the past few
years.

Who is what, please.

Yes indeed, it pays to promote. Not all those "Steve Barbone" hits are me.
Some are the other Steve Barbone Ph.D., professor at San Diego State. My
cousin is the smart one in the family and, among other things, one of the
world's leading experts on Spinoza. (Like OKOM, that's a niche market)

Google Search for Barbone Street Jazz Band and you get even more hits. My
favorite says the following:
------
INTERPRETI SWINGU ZE ZAHRANIcťí
Najdete zde to samé jako u domácích interpretuš, jen v zahranicťním pojetí.

BARBONE STREET JAZZ BAND
Skupina spojující styly vsťech zemí sveťta a tím vytvárťející hudbu mnoha

WOODY HERMAN
Nadaný hrácť na saxofon a klarinet, schopný vedoucí celé hudební skupiny.

I believe it is from a Czechoslovak web site, assume it is about swing, but
have no idea what it says and no idea how we got there. But, it does provide
a link to my web site along with links to web sites of the 5 dead guys
following us on the list.

So far no calls from there for gigs, but every once in a while I get strange
e mail messages in languages that I do not understand. :-) VBG

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
