[Dixielandjazz] Jazz, tires and the young

[Marek Boym]

Actually, GAry, I did get the idea the first time.  Very likely that
all those youngsters would not have attended a jazz event as such.
Which is why I consider it a great idea, even if one may call those
kids "a captive audience."  They were taken by surprise, liked the
music, and likely to go to jazz events on their own initiative.
Cheers
