[Dixielandjazz] Vale Bill Gunter

[ross anderson]

Dear Bill and List mates,
We too had the pleasure of Bill and Bev`s company when they came to 
Melbourne on their visit to OZ.
Plus on our many trips to Sacramento with the New Melbourne Jazz Band , Bill 
and Bev were always there to meet and greet us .
Rest in Peace mate,
Ross Anderson.
