[Dixielandjazz] Wish-list for brass band

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

I can put you in contact with a former member of the St. Louis Brass Band. 
Robin is quite an authority on music both here and in England.  ROBIN 
WETHERALL   tenorhorn at sbcglobal.net  Robin has been playing in brass bands 
all his life, both here and in England and has an encyclopedic knowledge of 
brass bands and the literature.

If he doesn't know it,  it isn't worth the time.  I'm sure he would be 
interested in what you are doing.
