[Dixielandjazz] Amy Roberts

[Harry Callaghan]

I could maybe be off by a year, she could be 26..........the probable reason
that you've been hearing about her for so long is I believe she started
performing professionally at about 19

Steve Barbone would probably know better than I as I think he knows her
personally..

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he
hears a different drummer.  Let him step to
the music which he hears, however measured or far away
