[Dixielandjazz] Where are the young people?

Unfortunately, Larry (Elazar) did not point out in his reply that in
Israel, too, "young people are saturated with music and
entertainment."

What does "meaningful scale" mean?  Larry has quoted examples of
(very) young peope insisting on getting his band.  And I did mention
the young people who pay to hear - and dance to - New Orleans Function
and Swing de Gitanes.  Usually, at those bands' performances, the
"over 50" (actually, in the US it is MUCH over 50) are a small
minority, and people my age (70) - a rarity.

Cheers
