[Dixielandjazz] ridiculous newspaper article

the "accepted venues" for "polite society." If you study the history  
of newspapers I am sure you will find there was an equivalent to the  
?alternate newspaper" in those days, and all the bands would have  
advertised their performances in such "rags " and they also probably  
would be refused by the "mainstream newspapers."
   
  I started loving OKOM when a young child and I had never
  been, or desired to go to any dive, or bar. I have always seen the connection with the "dark side" as a curse on good music.
   
  I particularly recall seeing Jack Teagarden in Boston MA back in the 60's in a venue that I thought was far "below" his level.
   
  What a shame!
