Good point Phil. The concept is as old as the hills. But lots of "art"  
dixieland bands seem to have forgotten it as they bemoan their lack of  
audience. The other old concept is that death overtakes all audiences  
and if we don 't play to the kids, all we can do is rant that they  
hate this music, have no musical taste, are idiots etc, ad nauseum.

Fact is if you make the music FOR THEM, they love it.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
