[Dixielandjazz] Lonely Woman Evan and Ornette

[Marek Boym]

Perhaps luckily, I don't live in the States.  But everywhere I go, in
Israel and Europe alike, that's what "New Orleans" conveys.
I am not that far from 90, either - another 19 years.
I consider this discussion closed.  Even if you believe that I am not
entitled to my opinions, well based as they may be, I believe in your
right to yours.
Cheers
