[Dixielandjazz] Monterey! Great festival!

[Russ Guarino]

And,  there was this guy who made sure I got a good mic when I sang with the
jammers, and then played clarinet fills at the end of phrases and kept the
band from over blowing as I was singing.  Who was that guy?  OH, Yea, he was
Russ Guarino, clarinet maven from Monterey.
