[Dixielandjazz] Dennis Rowland

I am also asking that all of you think good thoughts for Dennis Rowland - longtime singer with the Count Basie Band.  He suffered a very serious stroke last Wednesday night and is in a neurological center in Phoenix.  He has been a mainstay of my festival for years and is a great human being and as we all know a terrific singer and entertainer.  I have no other information at this time, but will keep the list appraised as soon as I hear anything else.
