[G. William Oakley]

During my many years of running the St. Louis Festival Red, Jeannie, and 
John as The Jazz Incredibles were one of the premier groups there.  They 
were always great crowd favorites both musically and personally.  Three 
nicer people could not be found.  It is sad that John no longer plays on 
a regular basis with them.

Bill
