[Dixielandjazz] How do you respond?

[Bob Romans]

I respond with King Oliver/Classic New Orleans jazz ...although we branch 
out a LOT with a wide variety of tunes...I try to always keep the audience 
wondering what we'll come up with next that will get the music police all 
bothered!
In that matter, Bill Gunter is a big help, believe me! Although I'm the band 
leader and count off the tempo, carry the sound equipment around, and do all 
of the emailing, 1099's, etc, Gunter is the RINGLEADER...
Warmest regards,
Bob Romans,
