[Dixielandjazz] Treme

[David M Richoux]

Just watched it (thanks to TIVO) and I agree! Other than 2 tiny  
quibbles (with the WWOZ  time line, and Elvis Costello being "not  
known" - he did record with with The Dirty Dozen in 1989 and Kermit  
Ruffins would have remembered that... creative license, I  
guess)             I thought the show was excellent!

I hope you all can check it out - and for those on the list who don't  
get HBO, it will eventually be on DVD, I am sure!  The music and  
characters were very well done and this looks to be another great  
series.  Very much OKOM, and very real!
