[Dixielandjazz] Stan Greig and beer

[Marek Boym]

Sorry, Bill!
I forgot that the url had been a part of the subject in the email I
received, so I changed the subject!
Here's the link:
http://shirazsocialist.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/stan-greig-jazz-and-blues-piano-

Do not be put off by the "socialist" part - it's not really relevant.
Putting it in your address bar will open a page with two videos (one from
"It's Trad, DAd"), each of which eventually suggests more videos.  The
tribute one came witht the second video.

And I could not really believe Stan's death had not been mentined, just
could not remember it.

Cheers
