[Dixielandjazz] Where are the young people?

[Larry Walton Entertainment]

Yes there are performers at various organized functions like the race or festival but not on some garden variety day of the week or weekend.  Unfortunately there's no money in it.  Bob Lord and his group performs at the Valley of Flowers event and others but they don't make anything.  

For whatever reason I can't imagine Steve Lilly driving in from where he lives and then perform free, but to each his own.  Steve lives somewhere on the other side of Troy and has to drive 50 or more miles one way.

  Not always true in St. Louis.  Yesterday for example there was a Rock 'n Roll Race Marathon in the city with 40 bands playing at various places along the route.

  The challenge then is to organize on OKUM Marathon.  LOL.  If that happens, I'd rather play than run.
