[Dixielandjazz] The Downfall of the music industry.

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

True Andy:   the new kids on the block keep proving that every day, 
what sounds bad or terrible to us may sound good to our grandkids, I 
recall hearing from my parents and many guys our age that Rock and Roll 
 music would not last at all.

Now we have a big old Rock & Roll Hall of fame,   Anybody know where 
the Dixieland Hall of Fame is  ??

of yeah that little toilet in the French Quarter called affectionately 
and reverently "Preservation Hall"

The mecca and icon of our wonderful music.   A real inspiration to 
future generations of want to be working musicians,

I wanna grow up and Play Preservation Hall to 35 people in the audience 
at $2.50 a seat.

It is high time for a Face LIft for Traditional Music folks and if we 
don't do it who will ?

Some of us are out there trying every day, and guess what we are 
getting great results all over the world and the audiences are getting 
younger and larger and enthusiastic again now go find some to put your 
bands in front of.  :))

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

Interestingly I stumbled across their web site only last Friday. Whilst 
it
is definitely not MKOM (or "Art"), I think you'd be surprised how many
people like it. I found their site because it was linked to from a
friends web site, a friend who plays a bit of jazz flugel horn.

So don't dismiss it too quickly. You might find it will be next years
lift music :-)
