[Dixielandjazz] How do you respond?

Exactly Craig:

We simply must find some common ground to communicate with them on 
because if they have no clue what or who we are talking about we are 
doomed, and the same goes for us if we do not know the names and music 
of the bands they throw at us that they want us to sound like.

Cheers,

Tom

   Tom, 
 Your comment about dated terms, words and names is well taken. 
 as being useless when communicating with the younger set. 
 
  I went fishing with my neighbor who is in his 30's and told him a 
rather shaggy dog 
  story about Cecil B. Demille and his making of a very costly classic 
"cast of thousands" scene 
  which could not be taken a second time due to oncoming weather 
conditions. 
  Cecil ensured his success by adding a 3rd camera crew to the 2 he 
normally might use, 
 just in case the original 2 cameras failed. - 
  Short form of the long story is that after the long scene he polled 
the 1st 2 camera men who 
  declared there cameras didn't work or some such problem he polled the 
3rd who answered 
 the field phone with the greeting: "Any time you're ready Cecil" 
 
  My neighbor didn't laugh at what I thought was a great story and 
looked concerned through out 
  the story as if thinking of something. I asked why. He responded with 
"Who's Cecil B. Demille?
