[Dixielandjazz] Giving credit where credit is due

[Robert S. Ringwald]

Daniel Crone daniel.crone at gmail.com gave us some good info about the 
clarinetist Bob Archilles.  See him with Harry James at:

See his post below.

I remember a few months ago, one of our Listmates posted about a clarinet 
player from the Napa Valley coming into the Napa Jazz Club.  The Listmate 
said the musician played and was great!  He also said that he was a pastor.

So, the mystery of who he was has been solved.
