[Dixielandjazz] N.O. Jazz &Hereitage Festival

[Clive Smith]

Steve - packed is an understatement. My first Jazz Fest was 1982. Total
attendance was in the region of 5000. My last Jazz Fest (the year Katrina
forced us to leave New Orleans) the attendance *on the last Sunday alone *was
in XS of 100.000!!!! I did not attend.
Cheers
Clive Smith
