[Dixielandjazz] Sac à Pulses on TV

[Dan Augustine]

Gary and DJML--
     Well, my brother in the U. S. Embassy 
(stationed in Oman, Bulgaria, Brussels, Berlin, 
Moscow, Zurich, etc.) speaks 8-10 languages, but 
all i speak is Texican ("Howdy!").  Whatever 
Spanish in highschool and German in college 
adhered to my memory-globules has long since been 
dissolved by the frequently applied poultice of 
controlled and uncontrolled substances dating 
from the 1960s in Reno (the den of iniquity was a 
din of inequity), so i don't know French (long 
way to go for that disclaimer, eh?).
     However, i went to the website described, and 
my Firefox froze and broke on it.  So i tried 
Safari (i have a Mac G5), and it worked.  I 
viewed about 17 minutes of incomprehensible 
gutteralisms, and then your band appeared.  I 
recorded the video of it (91 MB, Sac-a-pulses on 
TV.mov), which i can attach in an email to you if 
you want it.  (For those curious how i did this, 
i used Snapz Pro, at 
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/).
     Unfortunately, i don't know the name of the tune you were doing.

     Dan
