[Dixielandjazz] 88FM

Thanks  Marek:

I hope some of the doubters on the list will now pay attention to the 
hard work that guys like me and  Steve Barbone do to further the cause 
of OKOm and business for all Dixieland and OKOM musicians  we answer 
the door when there is a knock upon it and go do whatever is necessary 
to further the cause of the music and preservation and future of it to 
the best of our abilities.   And it is not ALL about the Money either 
but we try to be examples of what it can be if others would simply pay 
attention and move beyond what you did or learned 60 years ago, the 
time they have changed folks but  the music remains timeless.   You do 
have to keep finding and cultivating NEW audiences for it however or it 
will indeed die with us.   Yet we constantly get disrespected for our 
tireless efforts to motivate the troops and are told to stop preaching 
to the Choir.   So be it.  end of Sermon,  probably my shortest one in 
a long time.

Cheers,

 Last evening (it's 1:30 AM our time now), in the car, I turned on the 
 88FM semi-jazz programme (semi - because it's not all jazz, and some 
 of what the editor considers jazz I do not), and lo and behold - there 
 was some nice OKOM, and the announcer said it was Barbone St. Jazz 
 Band! 
 Cheers
