[Dixielandjazz] Re; The Kid Bands in Austin Texas

[Don Mopsick]

Dan Augustine writes:

"The guy with the sax is Jon Doyle, who also plays clarinet (with 
occasionally an Edmund Hall-like tone) in various bands around town 
(in fact, i like his clarinet-playing better than his sax work, but 
he's great on both).  Other groups he also plays with include Aunt 
Ruby's Sweet Jazz Babies and the Jazz Pharaohs (at the Elephant 
Room).  In January he sat next to Jim Cullum there (who had driven up 
from San Antonio to sit in a couple of times), and Mr. Cullum seemed 
to like his playing a lot."

So much so, Dan, that Jim invited Jon to sub for Ron Hockett on more than
one occasion after that. In fact, Jon is now considered the 1st-choice sub
for Ron at the Landing in San Antonio, as is one of his colleagues on
guitar, J.D. Pendley for Howard Elkins.
