[Dixielandjazz] Well known, or not, jazz musicians was Sol Yaged

[Marek Boym]

A listmate (I'm not sure he'd like his name revealed) has written me
about one of my favourite musicians, the Dutch Joep Peeters, "he did
not play much on national radio."
I've seen a sticker "Real Musicians Have Day Jobs," and it fits Joep
like a glove.
Cheers
