[Dixielandjazz] Acoustic music.

[Kent Murdick]

I don't think my post about Loyola got to the list, so I'll repeat it.  
I was at a reception at Loyola U. in New Orleans with my daughter.  It 
was a large buffet affiair in a quite large room with high ceilings.  A 
student trio was playing (they were quite good) made up of tenor sax, 
string bass and drums. And no amplification!  It sounded great .  I 
think that people are so grateful not to be subjected to amped sounds, 
that they respond to the music better. Maybe I'm just old, but if I see 
someone setting up a mike, I walk out.
