[Dixielandjazz] Free Music ("Exposure")

[David Richoux]

I just saw a poster for an upcoming Beer Festival in Oakland CA - all  
the publicity there is probably going to be (web and paper) says:  
"music from Dixieland Jazz and Zydeco bands" - that's it! No band  
names, nothing.

Tickets are $55, VIP $80 by the way - most other beer fests I have  
seen around the Bay Area are much less than this and there usually is  
some advance publicity with band names prominently featured.
