[Dixielandjazz] New Lurkers

[Barb Jordan]

Hi Ginny,

 

Barb here, a lurker more than a poster.  I am taking you up on your suggestion.

 

The main reason I do not post very often, is because I lack so much of the knowledge and experience the main posters exhibit in their musings and writings.  I guess I feel a tad intimidated, being a little shy myself.  But I really do enjoy being on the list and learning so much! I am a relative newcomer to OKOM, although I am 57 years old.  I now sing this music whenever I can, having been a vocalist since my teen years and professionally in Montreal in the 70's.

 

Thanks for you comments,

 

Barbara Jordan

 

Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
