[Dixielandjazz] Gig List + Oh Yeah Day at Dravo Plaza

[Stephen G Barbone]

Dear List mates
Dear Fans, Friends, Clients (recipient list suppressed)

August 4 is the 110th anniversary of Louis Armstrong's birth and the  
roughly about the same year that a unique American art form, jazz, was  
born. Louis was certainly the most influential jazz musician of the  
first half of the 20th century.

And so, on August 4th, classic jazz concerts around the world will pay  
homage to him on a day that has been designated "Oh Yeah Day" The many  
worldwide audiences will participate in shouting out "Oh Yeah" at the  
conclusion of one of the songs he made famous. See the below web site  
for a short video of him doing it, and information about this special  
day.

Barbone Street is pleased to be a participant in this worldwide  
celebration with an August 4 concert at DRAVO PLAZA in Wilmington  
DE,USA from 7 to 8:30 PM. Outdoors, bring a lawn Chair. We'll be  
adding the "Oh Yeah" coda on at least one Armstrong song, and  
depending on how enthusiastically the audience responds, maybe on  
several of his songs. It is a 2 set show so we'll do it at least once  
during each set.

Reprise The "Oh Yeah" Codas during Each Performance. All concerts are
