[Dixielandjazz] Can you give me any hope?

[Marek Boym]

Hello,
Judy suggested a visit to the UK.  I suggest a return visit to Israel.
 The NEw Orleans Function plays atleast once a month in Tel-Aviv, and
draws mainly young crowds.
And there are Dr. Jazz in jerusalem and Isradixie (whom we're going to
hear tomorrow).
Best regards

Our club has a musical scholarship which now supports only one youngster - who can play in the genre but can't seem to get higher than middle C on his trombone. And we did support a quite good young pianist now just graduated from college. but that's all. I don't see a happy future.
