[Dixielandjazz] Bria Skonberg's latest CD

[Marek Boym]

Thanks for the warning, Larry.  I'll be sure not to get that album.
something like that has happened to me with an album by Randy Sandke,
and also by Digby Fairweather - both usually at least swing, if not
trad, musicians.
I was terribly disappointed.
All the best
