My itinerary -

	1.	Spending a few days in Sedalia during Joplin's
developing era.

	2.    Spending a few nights on the streets of Storyville (just
to listen to all those "professors", particularly Mister Jelly.

	3.	 Making the rounds like in the 40's and 50's of those
great clubs and venues in New York (Condon's, Nick's, Ryan's, the
Casino, and the Plaza).	

	4.	 At the Dawn Club in San Francisco with the original Lou
Watters band.

	5.    Being able to spend another Sunday afternoon in the
Parisian Room on Royal Street with Almerico, Delaney, Pee Wee Spitalera,
and the gang.    Then going to the Morocco Club on Bourbon to catch
Lewis, Robinson, Howard, Slow Drag, and Lawrence for a few sets.

	6.	 And tagging along with Colyer and his band of Wheeler,
Duncan, Foxley, Bastable, Ward, and Bowlen.

	All the above cannot be prioritized.  Just maybe, if there's a
hereafter, I'll have these experiences (plus a few others).
