I agree with what you say as a generality Bob, and certainly am happy for
the JCJB and the Europeans who love OKOM.

But I respectfully disagree that Big Business here is responsible for the
demise of OKOM, if that is the point you seek to make.

We Dixieland Bands need look no further than ourselves for one of the
reasons the music is not appreciated by mass American audiences. We had as
much to do with the lack of musical appreciation in the USA as does big
business. 

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
