[Dixielandjazz] Was.... Support live jazz!

[Marek Boym]

Good going, Jim!
As to disturbing neighbours - there was a place in Jaffa which often
featured jazz.  The band had to sop at 11PM, so as not to disturb the
neighbours.  Music there, except for the double bass and banjo, was
accoustic.  However, once the band sropped, the place put on piped-in
music, which was MUCH louder!
Cheers
