[Dixielandjazz] Meschiya Lake & Dem Little Big Horns

[Stephen G Barbone]

Hi Dave:

Yes, the bands are like spin offs of each other. Loose Marbles, Baby  
Soda, Meschiya etc. seem to use many of the same personnel. Depends on  
where they are, as to who they use, I suppose.

Great to see young bands getting out there and doing it. We've got 3  
similar young OKOM bands that I am aware of in the Philadelphia area  
performing now.  Needless to say, they do a better job of attracting  
young audiences than we old farts do.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
