[Dixielandjazz] Update on Mat Domber of Arbors Records from Lew Shaw

[Marek Boym]

Matt has also attended other jazz festivals, most notably - as far as
I am concerned, of course - in Caesarea, where I met him.
I have sent a leeter of greetings to his mail address, and urge others
to do the same.
Cheers
