[Dixielandjazz] Davenport Blues, with Scott Hamilton

[Bert Brandsma]

Hi Ginny,
You are definitly right about that, in our country it is usually the same, with outside gigs.
It was a special day for this town, Leiden, with many cultural events taking place.Besides it was on sunday, so people were not in a hurry to do shopping.
Kind regards,
Bert Brandsma

I failed to report yesterday that what may have impressed me as much or 
more than the music was the audience.  There you were outside and 
storefront, not all fitting under the awning.  AND there was a an 
audience not just strolling by but standing all around to listen to you.
 
Has anyone beside me noticed the hundreds of YouTube clips of OKUM bands 
playing in outside venues and playing to themselves?

Hi 
  Dave,
Nothing wrong with giving your honest opinion!
For me it was a 
  nice experience, since I was asked to helpout without prior rehearsal, 
  sightreading the charts and suddenly faced with the fact playing with 
  Hamilton.Besides it was wellpaid, one doesn't have those things in bigbands 
  too often!
Kind regards,
