[Dixielandjazz] A very tasty long drum solo!

While drum solos might not be what the music's about, they are certainly
crowd pleasers, as witnessed on the Fourth of July. Cornet Chop Suey
played a great set under the tent in St. Charles with a good crowd, but
not a huge crowd. It was only when John Gillick launched into his
incredible solo on Caravan that the crowd outside the tent started to
take notice. Gradually the folks milling about the food stands and craft
booths started wandering over to the tent to watch John. He got a
rousing, standing ovation when it was over and many of those who had
come over to watch stayed for the next song. Unfortunately that was the
last song so it would be hard to know how many would have stayed longer,
but at least it got those "outsiders" listening to OKOM and liking it!

Cheers,
Beth
