[Dixielandjazz] Big Easy ou Baby Face

[Margaret Squires]

I'm in Idaho.....not exactly a hot bed of jazz.....and asked some
co-workers what they thought of first when I said "Big Easy"  they said
"New Orleans".  Even if it is an old nickname for New Orleans, it is not
out dated.

Looking forward to the CD release!!
