[Dixielandjazz] Drum solos

[Stephen G Barbone]

I hear you Bill. When ever we want to ignite the young audiences for  
whom we perform, whether at swing dances, or jazzy weddings, or public  
park concerts, or at colleges or venues like the Ocean City Music  
Pier, we ask for some tom toms.

And the kids really get into it. <grin>

Kinda like the dancing blonde during Paul Gonsalves' solo at Newport,  
except we get many more dancing.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
