[Dixielandjazz] Spanish celebrations

[Jim Kashishian]

After a meeting & photo op with the King, and later the President of Spain,
the Spanish football World Cup victory team took an open bus ride through
the streets of the city.  Madrileños are out on the streets, all dressed in
red & yellow to the tune of one million people!  On the steps of the Royal
Palace is a large concert featuring various Spanish singers.  Featured is
Manolo Escobar who's famous song "Viva España" years ago has come to life
again.  (Our trumpeter travelled with Manolo for 25 yrs!)
Very few of those folks on the street now will arrive home before dawn
tomorrow.
 
Me?  Home alone!  The wife is visiting family in Dublin, and I'm getting a
relatively early nite to bed (for me) at midnite!
Tomorrow...more Jazz, but not tonite!  Nice break for the chops, anyway.
