[Dixielandjazz] Plastic Artisis

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

I thought that Plastic artists was referring to a group of battery 
operated Plastic Blow Up Female  Dancing dolls that they sell in 
gentlemen's magazines.  I hear they even dance topless in Europe .

cheers,

Tom   who has played in Catalunya ,, and as Jim Kash says it is indeed 
a different Country than Madrid or even Barcelona.

A pleasant experience however, but again like Jim said  less money 
available than anywhere else I have played in Spain, so we have not 
gone back to that part of the country for several years now.   I 
managed to sandwich them in between two much more economically generous 
festivals and with their blessing to do so is how we did it.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

I think the Plastic Arts are those that produce 3 dimensional works. 
Like
Ceramics or Sculpture. Or those that are meant to be viewed as entities,
like painting, architecture, graphic arts, etc., as opposed say, to 
those
involving music which appeal to a different sense.

Perhaps the Tarragona Dixieland Festival also includes them to draw more
audience? Or maybe it is just a tradition of some sort in an artistic
setting?

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
