[Dixielandjazz] Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 47, Issue 29

[Scott Anthony]

Some people (like our reed player, Jim Rothermel) can tell the difference 
between the higher quality sound of a CD and the lower quality of MP3s, but 
I sure can't. Must be my ears have been ruined by sitting to close to the 
washboard (or the banjo). Actually, I don't think I've ever played with a 
washboard artist so it must be the drums (or the banjo).
