[Dixielandjazz] Sacramento Area: Dick Mix Memorial Tomorrow Nov 14

[Robert Ringwald]

There will be a memorial for Dick Mix at the Dante Club, Friday Nov 14, 1:00 
PM, tomorrow.

 Dick was an important figure in the Sacramento 50s, 60s and 70s Jazz scene. 
He is a life-time Gold Card member of the Sacramento Traditional Jazz 
Society in which he played trombone.  In the 1960s, he played oboe and 
English horn in the Sacramento Symphony.

 Dick was also one of the two trombone players, along with Jim Maihack, in 
the 10 piece Jazz band, Sugar Willie and the Cubes throughout the 60s and 
70s.  He was in the band when they appeared at the Monterey Dixieland Jazz 
Festival in May of 1968 on the same show as the original Dukes of Dixieland, 
the Firehouse 5 Plus 2, Clancy
Hayes, Bob Crosby and the Bobcats, Turk Murphy's San Francisco Jazz Band and 
the Louis
Armstrong All-stars.

Orchestra and appeared with Kaye on the Sunday Serenade radio show.

Dick passed away a few days ago and his life will be celebrated at 1:00 PM, 
at the Dante Club, 2330 Fair Oaks Blvd., Sacramento, CA.

Hope to see you there.
