[Dixielandjazz] Bob Crosby

[Don Robertson]

Yes Bill it WAS BOB Achilles who visited us here in Napa a couple of 
months ago and played in our jam sets.  I don't remember seeing him here 
more than once.  I didn't get a chance to meet him, but certainly heard 
him play.  We're blessed with some very good musicians in our jam sets, 
most of whom, including Carol, come from other places.  I was told, Bob 
Achilles had recently moved to Yountville (a few miles north of Napa).  
We hope to see him back again soon.
