[Dixielandjazz] Jazz Takes a Back Seat at N.O. J & H.

[PHIL WILKING]

The so-called "Jazz and Heritage Festival" long ago abandoned jazz - at 
least as long ago as the "and Heritage" was added to the name. It is held at 
the Fairgrounds, a horse race track. So - you get to pay an exhorbitant 
price for a ticket to not hear jazz while you wade through horse manure.

Much better from the perspective of OKOM is the "French Quarter Festival" in 
April. Stages are set up throughout the Quarter and local bands play with no 
ticket required.

Those who would exchange freedom for security
deserve neither freedom nor security.

I don't see this article  the DJML. It is the one that prompted
Marek's response. If it appears, sorry for the duplication. Courtesy
of Norman Vickers who posted it on  another list to which Marek and I
belong.
