[Dixielandjazz] The 19th International Bohem Ragtime & Jazz Festival

[Harry Callaghan]

Bob:

A very impressive report on the Bohem Festival.  I'm sure that Tamas will be
most grateful upon reading it.

"No loud yelling on the streets, no swearing and bad manners"........that
should certainly make New Yorkers feel at home.

Now, don't anybody go getting on my case..after all, I spent the first 36
years of my life there.

I guess the only thing you might have left out is where's the best place to
grab a good plate of Hungarian Goulash?
