[Dixielandjazz] Move to Placerville

[Dan Augustine]

Joe--
     Ah, yes, beautiful downtown Placerville (nee Hangtown)!  I used 
to play sousaphone with the Reno Municipal Band on gigs in 
Placerville in the 1960s, and i've driven through (and gotten 
gasoline) there within the last couple of years.
     What (actually, who) you need to know is Bob Ringwald 
(robert at ringwald.com), who lives there.  He is a marvelous 
piano-player, leader of the Fulton Street Jazz Band, moderator of the 
Dixieland Jazz Mailing List (http://www.islandnet.com/~djml/), and 
father of Molly Ringwald.  If there's anyone who knows what's going 
on with music in Placerville (PLASS-er-ville, not PLACE-er-ville) and 
the left coast music-community in general, it's Bob.
     Now, Visalia ain't all that far from Placerville, but you might 
be more familar with tuba-stuff than dixieland-stuff.  Whatever.  Get 
in touch with Bob.
