[Dixielandjazz] Hello - BOOM PAM - Markneukirchen

[Dan Augustine]

DJML and others--
     I thought perhaps that Brother Richoux would forward this to 
y'all before me, but whatever.  It's from the Tuba-Euphonium 
mailing-list.
     This ain't exactly dixieland, but it does relate to Brother 
Brandt in Israel, and Brother Kashishian in Spain, and to those 
musicians and fans in Europe, and it's kinda jazzy, kinda klezmer, so 
i figured, why not?
