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

[Robert Ringwald]

Thanks Nancy.  It was a great festival!  The weather was perfect.  Great 
music.

Three all-stars that knocked me out were Warren Vache JR, John Allred and 
Harry Allen.

Of course the rest were no slouches either.

Saw Royal Society Jazz Orchestra 3-times.  They were great!

As Nancy says, anyone who missed the Festival, really missed something.

Make plans now for the 37th Sacramento Jazz Festival and Jubilee next year, 
Memorial Day weekend, 2010.

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
