[Dixielandjazz] Re; Band playing a gig

[Marek Boym]

Last time that happened to me was at the (unfortunately defunct, at least
as a jazz pub) Lord Napier many a moon ago.  But then the leader was a
drummer, who had a microphns INSIDE hos bass drum!  A few years later I
bought a British jazz CD without noticing the drummer - and lo and behold,
it was the same drummer, still drawning the rest of the band!
Cneers (just back from a whisky tastin - I don't thine I'll have more
alcohol tonight)
P.S.
Th Scotch single malt LeDaig was the best, with single barrel close second.
Cheers again (I'll drink to that, but only tomorrow)
