[Dixielandjazz] To All DJML Members

[Janie McCue Lynch]

I agree with Kit Johnson re: consideration of Facebook as a viable
alternative delivery mechanism for the DJML.  A "Closed Group" which
requires an invitation and approval by an administrator to join could
actually be a very workable idea, and would expand what can be shared in
terms of attachments, videos, etc.

A lot of us wouldn't join Facebook at any price.
I think it would be a foolish move.
