[Dixielandjazz] My Inspiration

[Bob Smith]

Dear Bill,

Thanks for the Peanuts Hucko video. It makes a change from listening to 
Dodds, Noone, George Lewis, Nicholas, Simeon, and Bechet to name just a few 
of my favourites. I quite like listening to Hucko, Goodman and clarinet 
players of that ilk - the problem is finding time to listen to everybody to 
whom I like to listen.

What I found remarkable about the video is that Hucko was around 72 years 
old at this time. To my eyes he doesn't look a day over 60, although I think 
he became chronically ill some two-three years after playing this concert in 
1990.

Kind Regards

Bob Smith
