[Dixielandjazz] Ascona

[Marek Boym]

Hello Luca,
The lodging warning was based on my friends' experience.
I'd love to go to Ascona, but, unfortunately, I "don't get around much
anymore" - I am tied up fo reasons into which I'd rather not go (not
personal health problems).
I'm not a musician, just a jazzoholic.
I'm Israeli.
Regards
