[Dixielandjazz] U.S. Coastguard Band

[Robert Ringwald]

I attended a concert in the park by the U.S. Coastguard Band.  They were finishing up a 18 day tour.  They were in Formosa, or somewhere such as that.  This was the big band from the Coastguard HQs from MD or somewhere back there at the academy.    

They were very good and put on a great show.  During the intermission, instead of taking a break, 7 of them formed a Dixieland Band and played.  They were pretty good.  They played "Way Down Yonder In NO", "Tin Roof Blues" and "Swing That Music."  They were having fun.  I'll bet it is a nice break for them to be able to stretch out a bit.  That is why they gave up their break, to play Jazz.

The red cross knocked at my door asking if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan.
I said I would love to, but my hose only reaches the bottom of the driveway.
