[Dixielandjazz] Russ' take on the Dixieland Monterey Weekend:

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

That's What it's ALL about folks when it's Done RIGHT and if you can't 
do it RIGHT Please get off the stage until you can get up there and do 
it RIGHT.   Don't make it so much harder for us that have been 
fortunate enough to have learned to do it right to go back out and 
retrain an audience to what is really right over and over again.

In other words, if you been doing it for forty years and you ain't got 
it right yet give it up and listen to the old records and keep 
woodsheddin' till you can step up to the plate and hit a home run, or 
at LEAST, PAST THE BAR :))

Cheers,

Tom "let us Entertain you" Wiggins

    I agree.  When the band on stage is having fun, the

As long as I have loved, and performed, OKOM, I have been keenly
aware that when the band I'm listening to, or performing with
(for the past 50+ years), is doing well, a look at the faces of
those in the audience will reveal that most of those who are
listening will be smiling.

Who could, to coin a phrase, ask for anything more?
