[Dixielandjazz] Satchmo Summer Fest - New Orleans

[gluetje1 at aol.com]

Hi Kate,
 
Great to hear that you plan to do this New Orleans event!  I tried  
unsuccessfully  to meet you in San Diego this year.  Got to hear you  several times 
but not to get acquainted.
 
I am just so in support of this New Orleans effort of Banu and their  great 
team.
 
List, life had a whopper of a curve ball for me the past week and a  half.  
I had a cardiac cath on 1/11/10, a quadruple bypass on 1/13,  discharge on 
1/18.  Doing just great.  And I can give anyone who  finds themselves facing 
a bypass, sound medical reasons for using the  hospital and surgeon that I 
had.  The doc is using several new approaches  that are amazing. 
 
Back on topic, now I'm so thrilled that I can be in such much better health 
 and stamina for all this New Orleans fun.
 
While the opportunity to learn from Don Vappie is going to be terrific, I  
play plectrum tuning.  One more reason why it would be great to get  
pointers from you.
Ginny

I  believe the discounted rate through Banu is $100 a night, which is a 
great  deal if you want to be in town and in the middle of all the action for 
Satchmo  Fest. My husband and I have decided to go for the week and just make 
it a  little vacation. Like many of you on this list, I feel strongly about 
 supporting traditional jazz education and I want the New Orleans Camp to 
be  successful. So if you're not interested in attending the camp as a 
student,  but are considering going to New Orleans and would like to support what 
they  are doing then visit the website and contact Banu. You can tell her 
you saw  this on the DJML!
