[Dixielandjazz] Gigging in Australia was It's a small world

[Stephen G Barbone]

Hey Ross & Bill:

I didn't give up that lead easily. I was going to do the gig Free if  
the client would pay the airfare for the band from Philadelphia to  
Melbourne. I figured you mates in OZ would put us up Free and so it  
would be a great vacation. Unfortunately the sidemen refused to give  
up a weeks worth of paying gigs here in the land of the big PX. <grin>

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
