[Dixielandjazz] OK - here is some controversy..........

[Jon Stutler]

I find their posts extremely helpful and insightful.. Some of us have only been doing this for 30 years and need all the ideas we can get.  Guess for the rest, there exists the delete key....

Thanks,

I have found them to be very helpful. A lot of the stuff we learn in 
music business in college is a lot of the stuff that they talk about.
