[Dixielandjazz] A New Book on OUR KIND OF MUSIC

[Marek Boym]

Hello Bob,
A friend and I attended a lecture on jazz you gave in Israel,
although, after all these years I do not recall whather it was in
Jerusalem or in Tel-Aviv.
If I remember correctly, you saud that you only listened to 78's.

A very interesting lecture.
Regards from Israel,
Marek
