[Dixielandjazz] When Dixieland Rocked.

[David Richoux]

I get the same sort of feeling when I go to the HonkFests (in Boston  
and Seattle.) So much energy from the young(ish) players and  
audience!  You can see a bit of this at www.honkfest.org but the  
videos don't do some of the performances justice...
