[Dixielandjazz] Swing is where you find it in New York City

[Marek Boym]

I urge you folks to watch (the first one stopped after about 2 munutes
and would not play any more) and look at the dancers.  That's where
young audiences are!  And once you catch them, at least some of them
will come to other, even non-dancing venues.  If you don't, then, well
- your audience will die off.
Cheers
