[Dixielandjazz] MAKE YOUR CHILDREN ENJOY JAZZ - INSTEAD OF FOOTBALL

[Kay Spencer]

Steve & all,
   
  The Improv Comedy Club in San Jose has been doing Sunday matinee jazz for a while.  It's not OKOM but it is still a "good thing".   Anyone who is interested in the upcoming schedule can go to the calendar for the San Jose club at www.improv.com .  There is a Jazz Educators Showcase on April 1st which caught my eye.

Please forgive me for posting it Tom.

What a great idea!!! "Make your children enjoy jazz - instead of football."
How do we do that, with a whip? Or by dragging them somewhere they may not
want to be? What genius thought up that idea?

Me? I'm watching the super bowl. I've got the rest of the year to enjoy
jazz. 

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
