Hi Bob,

I hope all is well with you out west.

I am getting ready to head to Germany in less than a week but I thought I would forward this e-mail I received today. It relates to Dixieland jazz history as described below.  My drummer/agent friend here in New Orleans forwarded it to me and in turn I thought maybe the fellow members of the dixieland Internet discussion group would enjoy participating in voting for this.
