[Dixielandjazz] Just a note about the Cullum band.

[STEVE PIKAL]

Hi Dave and Norm,
Thank you for kindly  mentioning  me  joining on with the Jim Cullum band.  It 
really has been a lot of  fun playing and swinging with such a great group of 
musicians.   I  just wanted to note that Jim very graciously   worked 
around  some of my prior  commitments.  One of which is playing  the Suncoast 
Jazz fest in November with the Barbary Coast band.  I am looking forward to 
always a very fun weekend of jazz and seeing you very soon.       All the best,

Steve Pikal

Another recent change in the band is the addition of Steve Pikal as string 
basist.  Steve has been with the Barbary Coast for many many years and has been 
one of the busiest musicians in the Minneapolis area for the past fifteen 
years.  Although Steve is not as well known as Hal Smith it was Hal that 
recommended Steve for the job.

Norman write:  Steve Pikal replaces bassist Don Mopsick in the Cullum Jazz 
Band.  Don still manages the Riverwalk Jazz website.  Don has moved to central 
Florida.  Maybe he’ll write in and tell us his location.
