[Dixielandjazz] Clarinetist Looking for Work

Tue Oct 3 18:16:11 PDT 2006

Speaking of Gay - I work for a guy that insists on a coral pink T shirt (He 
buys) with oyster pants and white shoes.  I call it the pink oyster cult. 
But anyway, some lady shouted out as she passed us that we looked gay.  The 
gig is a regular shopping mall job that I have been playing.  I have to 
agree with her.
