Of course, 1928 has nothing to do with Preservation Hall.  Allan Jaffe 
opened PH in 1961.  IMHO, what is played there is NOT authentic NO jazz, 
but authentic NO revival jazz.  I won't take anything away from 
'revival,' but will add that this is not my preferred jazz style.

I visited PH as a teenager in the '70s with my father, sister and my 
weimeraner, Kandi.  We all took in a show although Kandi had to watch 
from the back gate of the entry alley.  At some point during the 
evening, Kandi let us know she had enough by leaving a rather copious 
poop on the floor.  Well, she was my dog, so I had to clean it up.

There was no problem finding scrap paper and cardboard to perform the 
task until the question of doggy stool disposal came up.  I though I'd 
just plop it into the toilet and be gone with the whole mess.  However, 
the toilet was backed up and overflowing.  And, the substance covering 
the floor was 17 times as foul as what I had in my hands.  I ended up 
wrapping a lot more paper around the whole bundle and putting it in a 
garbage bin.

In the end, Kandi didn't find BourBONE street up to her expectation.  
Pa, sis and I had a great time though.

All the best, Gary
