[Dixielandjazz] Vince Saunders

[Don Robertson]

For those of you who remember the South Frisco Jazz Band, the leader 
Vince Saunders, now playing Banjo in the Titanic Jazz Band, has 
apparently suffered a heart attack.  He is doing OK, per the following 
from Dan Comins (formerly with South Frisco, now leader of Titanic) by 
way of Mike and Dottie Baird (Mike was reed player for South Frisco and 
now with Titanic)

By now, I'm sure most have heard, but if not, yesterday, Vince suffered 
a heart attach. He woke up complaining of a stomach ache and by mid 
morning felt really sick. Mary drove him to their Doctor and Vince had 
the heart attack in the Doctor's office. They found two blocked 
arteries. They've stinted one and will stint the other today. He'll be 
recuperating for a few days at Saddleback Hospital. (under the watchful 
eye of Anne Raggio, no doubt)
 
As for tomorrow, John Reynolds will fill the chair and brother Ralf will 
be on washboard.
 
See you all tomorrow.
