[Dixielandjazz] Wineries As the Scene of Australian OKUM

[David M Richoux]

There are several California Wineries that have annual jazz festivals  
- the Cline Wine festival ( www.jazznut.com/skeds/cline09.htm ) has  
been featuring OKOM bands for many years. The Ridge Music Festival had  
many featured jazz musicians (not all OKOM)  and there have been many  
other jazz and wine connections in this area.

Why? Because it works!
