[Dixielandjazz] Eighth Street Orchestra kicks off the 2013 Lupercalia Festival

[Marek Boym]

It's lovely, Larry!
A friend of mine participated in the December 2012 Jazz FEstival at Sea.
She recorded all the shows, including the Capitol Focus Jazz Band.  An
excellent US youth band.  Ages as in your Eighth Street Orchestra and
younger.  I am in the process of listening to it all right now - not
easy, as Donna did nto divide it into reasonable tracks.  Now I am
still on track 1 of once CD she's burnt, 2:11 hours, and it's still
not nearly finished.  In my car CD player, the couter goes to 59:59",
and stops.  Music goes on as long as I am driving, but then starts
again at the 59:59" mark.
Cheers (after half a bottle of the Gamla Merlot - a Ramat Hagolan wine
- I don't believe I'm going to drink more tonight).
