[Dixielandjazz] Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 52, Issue 47

Actually it turned out rather well and it started as a fun thing. Corey and  
John where going to be in the area where Larry Wright lives. Old friend all  
three and they wanted something fun to do. The music scene in the DC area is 
not  all that good. No one wants to pay anything for it. The Jazz Club got 
behind  this and it brought what some said was a "different feel" for the members 
that  they don't usually get in the area. They made enough to pay the guys and 
all had  a great time.
