[Dixielandjazz] Sac Jazz Jubilee - only five OKOM bands?? -RIDICULOUS misperception

[mike at washboards.com]

Hi Nancy:

I agree.  I'm sorry about everyone who missed out! 
It was a great weekend!  I'm exhausted.

Either I'm getting old or I just plain had too much
fun.  Probably both.

Great music, bunches of friends, good weather!

I wouldn't spend Memorial Day weekend anywhere else!

Mike Johnson
Parker, Colorado

 Gene B. is too busy to give a detailed reply to this
question, so I have put together my own response re.
the Sac. Jazz Jubilee. To anyone who missed out on
all the fun, I am sorry for your loss.
Love and hugs,
Nancy
