[Dixielandjazz] new technologies

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

AHHH but YES, BRO. GUNTER,

but you can always find some older person hoarding and collecting them 
waiting for them to come back into style, need or fashion. :))

How about that guy with the warehouse full of Hula Hoops  he scored big 
time, however the guy with all those really cool Neru Jackets is still 
waiting for the fashion industry to catch up and let him unload them , 
at least all those that the moths have not eaten yet. :))

Actually I think they would go rather nice with Red Dixieland Vests and 
artificial simulated plastic  Straw Boaters for Dixieland Band 
uniforms,  can we get a vote ?

Cheers,

Tom

   Hello all,

I wish that were true Brother Mike, but I really don't believe it. To 
the
contrary, I think life presents a constant battle between the forces 
the old
(NO CHANGE) and the new (CHANGE).

You know, the way the Conservatives really love the Liberals and vice 
versa
. . .

And so it is with the new advances in data storage. Digital Tapes are
history. No matter how hard we struggle to preserve the old 
technologies,
it's a losing battle.

For instance, the Army has never been the same since the cannon made 
their
catapults obsolete. You just don't see them in the armory stored 
alongside
mortars and grenades and stuff. The long bow is no longer standard 
issue.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "hand me my sword" Gunter
