[Dixielandjazz] Marie Laveau

[RickeyZ]

Thanks for remembering me, Rebecca!!

I went to Tombstone, for a couple of years.  My kids live here
(my son is a world-class piano player)\
And I'm settling down.  Turn 77 tomorrow)

I play a couple of jams a week, and play at my church.
No beer, but ....wot the heck!!!

Still pickin' and grinin', eh?

Rick
