The Fog City Stompers have been playing since 1985.  They were 
originally assembled by leader, Tom Belmessieri, from members of a 
nighttime dance band but, with each personnel change over the years, the 
band has developed its own style.  In addition to the great old 
standards, which include arrangements of the recordings of Bix 
Beiderbecke, they offer original compositions and new arrangements 
performed in the traditional Dixieland jazz style.  They currently play 
at various establishments around the San Francisco bay area and at 
private affairs.  Please drop in and say hello to this fine band!

One month later, NVDJS will feature the Gold Coast Jazz Band on Sunday,
November 11th, 2007 from 1-5 PM at the same location.

Spacious Dance Floor.  The lodge has Food and a Full Bar.
