Pat, you should post this on DJML. It looks as if it went to me privately.

Hi Bob,

as the owner of probably the only DJML badged baseball shirt in the UK i 
thought I would put my five eggs in. I bought it when I joined which was a 
bout a year before Peter died.
i had assumed when I ordered it that it would be a tasteful small badge, 
perhaps over the breast pocket but no, it has a target the entire width of 
my shoulder blades right across the back. Being a shy reserved  Englishman i 
was too embarrassed to  wear the thing until i found that when I was playing 
drums at a long regular gig I sat with my back to a wall and it was hidden 
most of the evening.
i did however find a use for it as I was able to display it on stage on the 
one and only occasion  the DJML Allstars performed. Bill Gunter remarked on 
it but didn`t clain any input to the design.

Phil,

I remember those incorrectly printed badges.

It seems as it it was Bonnie Otto who made the mistake. But I could be 
wrong. It also seems as if she, or someone re did the badges correctly.

I remember the tee-shirts. Karen Quick I think designed the first ones and 
then later Bill Gunter did some.

There might be some DJML tee-shirts and other DJML goodies for sale at the 
DJML Islandnet site. My daughter-in-law designed some. I had intended to use 
any profit from the sale od DJML goodies to sponsor a youth musician to the 
STJS yearly Youth Jazz Camp. But not enough ever sold to even think about 
the scholarship. In fact, she did not even get enough money back to pay for 
the time she spent designing the logo and designing the web site.

Maybe she used Bill Gunter’s logo but I do know it took many hours setting 
up the DJML store. I haven’t looked there for several years so don’t know if 
it is still there. But I’ll take a look.

Seems hard to think that DJML has been going now over 19 years. Geez, we 
were all young whipper snappers when Peter started DJML. Now all the 
snappers gone out of our whippers. (grin)

Recently, Bob Ringwald said,"  The DJML was founded by Peter Lovric on
March 13, 1995.  Peter passed
away on September 8, 1997" and Snogpitch said, "I was digging thru my
closet the other day and found my DJML polo shirt that has a date of 96 in
the artwork." This prompted me to dig through some of my archives for old
DJML material.



Back in the 1990's it was all the festival rage for the bands to hand out
to the audiences free badges with the band's name on them -advertising,
kind of.  Someone in the newly-formed DJML decided to have some badges made
to promote the list and I happen to have one of them.  It is a keepsake
because it is a *misprint* stating in large, red letters - DLML - instead
of DJML!  Anyone out there remember those badges?



As Ned Kelly said on the way to the gallows, "Such is life."
