[Dixielandjazz] Monterey! Great festival!

[Kaye Wade]

It was really great even if I did have to come home on Sat. afternoon!
Met some new great people from the list, saw some old friends from  
the list and it was amazing how many bands that were there that I had  
worked with some of the musicians in the last 40 + yrs!

The music keeps us young!

The washboard concert was a great hit, with a full crowd.

Mike Marrota came & played.  Mike is the guy that hired me several  
times, but got me started singing with Big Crosby at his Clambake &  
the Del Monte Inn.

Saw Dan Comins (has the Titanic Band) who works with us on thurs, and  
Corey Gemme (with High Sierra) who works with us on Tues. and Jim  
Cullin from Texas, who i sat in with many times when my husband was  
in the Air Force Hosp. in San Antonio, and so many musicians with  
lots of old stories, I would have to name almost everyone there.   
Gary Raider started with Mike Marotta and he came & played a "warm- 
up" set the the washboard concert & then stayed to play the rest.  Of  
course he was worried about leaving after I got on stage.... ; -)

Just a wonderful 3 days for me. And a public thank you to Kay Spencer  
for helping get a great price on my flights.  What a great list this is!
