[Dixielandjazz] No, it ain't OKOM . . . BUT

[Stephen G Barbone]

Thanks Ginny. I love Klezmer. It is, as one lady told me years ago at  
a Jazz Festival in Oregon, "Jewish Jazz". She and her husband,  
tourists, happened to pass by the hotel ballroom  where I was playing  
in a band and decided to attend the festival on the spot having  
likened Dixieland to Klezmer.

Loved that bowed banjo too. Thanks for the info.

Cheers,
Steve barbone
