[Dixielandjazz] OKOM in San Antonio

[Dan Augustine]

Bob and DJML--
     Yes, there used to be Chuck Reiley's Alamo City Jazz Band, but 
Chuck has quit playing.  We in the Austin Traditional Jazz Society 
gave him a presentation and retrospective a while back at one of our 
concerts (see http://www.atjs.org/).  He was a great pioneer for jazz 
in central Texas and for over 40 years provided us with great 
entertainment.
     However, there does exist a San Antonio Ragtime Society:
