[Dixielandjazz] SO THAT'S WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ABOUT

[Rick Campbell]

Nice comments on Rebecca Kilgore, Dan Barrett. As Portlanders, we have  
to travel to the Sacramento Jubilee to hear you in the quartet. Wish  
you were all here.

I have a few tips on how your excellent band can catch the popular  
music wave and get a major recording contract.

First, turn up the volume to somewhere around 100 dB. You're way too  
soft and mellow for today's younger audiences.

Second, encourage Becky to appear in skimpy lingerie. Not only on  
stage, but also in public at baseball games. This works for Lady Gaga.

Third, Becky needs tatoos. Lots of them. Maybe purple spiked hair,  
too. Or a shaved head. You get the idea.

Fourth, you really need to add a drummer with a large kit. Mic him and  
turn him up.

Finally, you need to add some songs about the rain forest, war, and  
killing cops. Contemporary themes.

I think if you just make these updates, you can also capture the  
younger pop audiences ;-)
