[Dixielandjazz] Daniel Huck

[Marek Boym]

Wow!
Haven't got the time to listen right now - its past 1:30AM here - but
I sure will, and urge all the listmates to do the same.
I do not care for musette, but I have heard Huck in Breda, and he was
wonderful!  At a "Duo Special" concert, he was feeling sick, and was
afraid he would not be able to play.  Whd the duo started
""S'wondefrul," the woman next to me started singing "It's
Marvellous," and Huck looked at her and sait wistfully: "I hope."  It
was.
Cheers,
Marek
