[Dixielandjazz] The Downfall of the music industry.

The couple of times I actually went into preservation hall the band was a 
bunch of really old guys and they didn't play very well but the spirit was 
there.  A few years ago I spotted a Pres Hall CD in a store and actually 
paid money for it.  It wasn't much better than the performances I heard.  I 
don't live there so I'm sure at times there are really good people that play 
there but It doesn't seem like it.  Then again they probably don't pay much 
either.
