[Dixielandjazz] Ed Bradley from 60 Minutes

[David Richoux]

I saw Ed Bradley several years in a row in the audience at the New  
Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. (it is a great place for celebrity  
sighting!) I gave him a band bumper sticker, he said he would put it  
on his clarinet case (or somebody's clarinet case - it was pretty  
noisy at the time ;-)

IMO his interview with musicians were better than the other 60  
Minutes folks, I could tell he really got what it was all about.
