[Dixielandjazz] Bill Watrous pt deux

[Marek Boym]

I'm hardly a Watrous fan, despite the high esteem  which Sir Roy
williams has for him, but I've heard him (on record, to be sure) play
quite loud!
Cheers

I remember him getting upset at the local college band director for not having a mic set up for his clinic. The clinic was set up in a band rehearsal room. Watrous was fine talking without a microphone but he wanted one for his playing.
