[Dixielandjazz] Keeping Jazz Alive in Palm Springs

Way to Go Richard:

If he music is good and the food is good and the people have a good 
time they will return and bring some friends with them, it really is 
that simple, but we often do have to go toot our own horns to get 
others to toot them in the future.   It is also an investment with 
potentially lucrative returns, often better than you will find in the 
stock market and at least you control the money. :))

Find a need and Fill it,  :))   Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Cheers and break a leg man,


Tom Wiggins

    Last year I hired a hall and booked my musicians for a Fat Tuesday 
party  and
It worked well and proved to me that people in our town of Palm Springs 
 CA
WILL pay a $10.00 cover and come out to hear good jazz.  So this  year 
guess
WHAT ???  I am putting on  a series of four ( what I  am calling New 
Orleans
Jazz Parties) on every Saturday afternoon starting on  March 31 at the 
Local
American Legion hall.  It is a bit of a gamble for me  and I could lose 
a couple

of bucks as I have committed to pay my guys $100.00  each. the hall is
free--they will sell drinks and food- and I will spend a bit  for 
advertising.
What
some people won't do for a gig, HUH!!  I hope  locals will support us, 
as I
know they will, and I believe we will fill the  room-at least the first
Saturday.  The others??????????  Spread the  news, please and show up 
if you
can.
Richard Redmond ( I used  to be a Dick) leader, the 8th st 7 (6) jazz  
band.
