[Dixielandjazz] Loose marbles

[Daniel Barrett]

Hello, all--
 
Just FYI, the trumpet player is Ben Polcer, the son of the pro cornetist Ed Polcer. Ed, who divides his time between New York City and New Orleans, owned--with a partner--and managed Eddie Condon's jazz club in Manhattan; easily the most "musician-friendly" club at which I've ever performed. Ed's still very active at festivals and jazz parties.
 
Incidentally, regarding the Loose Marbles video: who's their tailor?

> After coming across these guys, i came to the conclusion that we need to encourage more kids to take their bands to the streets - -good old-fashioned busking. We don't see much of this anymore, but I'd bet that it could be a real winning deal for those young musicians who did it. And were persistent.
