[Dixielandjazz] Musical Frequencies; John Gill in Austin

[Dan Augustine]

Dave and DJML--
     First, let me thank you for that list of frequencies.  I am 
probably the only person on this list (or maybe in this world) who 
immediately went to the URL and bookmarked it.  But that's the kind 
of guy i am.
     However, it occurred to me that not all of the denizens of DJML 
would grasp the subtle relationship of that list of frequencies to 
the subject of dixieland jazz.  Pity (but then i'm used to it).
     Of more important note is the fact that i just finished having 
some beer, nachos, and chicken wings with John Gill and other folks 
from the Austin Banjo Club, down at the Tavern on Lamar, after 
rehearsal.
     Yes, it's twoo, it's twoo, John Gill has moved to Austin, Texas. 
Alert DJMLer Rae Ann Berry first apprised me of this intelligence a 
couple of days ago, and tonight i skipped playing Eb tuba (in treble 
clef, mind you) in the Austin Wonder Brass rehearsal, just to meet 
Mr. Gill, who is a splendid fellow and wonderful player of the banjo 
(among other instruments).  I've been a fan of his and have many of 
his CDs, and i hope he finds wealth and happiness playing here in 
Austin (one out of two being a superlative number in this regard).
