[Dixielandjazz] Report on IAJE from a young 20 something who attended

[mmckay]

I sent Tcash a private message but since it has come up again, there is a
whole separate section of IAJE for OKOM.  The Traditional Jazz Educators'
activities are/were written up each month in the (paper) Mississippi Rag and
I assume it will be resumed when the publication is on line.

It is an active and happy organization.

Doesn't suprise me. I'm curious(as well as suprised) to how OKOM of any kind
even got into IAJE. The people at IAJE don't care about trad jazz.
