[Dixielandjazz] Youth Dixieland Festival

[David Richoux]

John Soulis (T-bone and band leader ) has been very active in the East  
Bay Trad Jazz Society and the Youth Band festivals over the years.  
That is his phone number in the listing.  The youth festivals have  
been pretty successful in the past, but they take a lot of effort to  
set up!
