[Dixielandjazz] FW: A Night At Nick's on Riverwalk Jazz

[Marek Boym]

Many years ago I heard Humph in a London suburb.  Humph played' I
believe, his Bad Penny Blues, and announced that some might have asked
their sweethearts to marry them to the sounds of that songs, while
many others might have been conceived to the sounds thereof...
It was a great show, anyway, with Kathy Stobart's kids running all ove
the place!  And the year was 1976.
Cheers
