[Dixielandjazz] Been gone for 10 months and yet

[Stephen G Barbone]

There you go again Marek. Why tell Steve? He didn't post the message  
Rebecca refers to. <grin>

As for the same arguments, I've been on the list for about a decade  
now, and seldom see anything new discussed. After all, the nature of  
Dixieland is "the same old arguments'"  <grin>

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
