[Dixielandjazz] I seem to have accidentally bought a jazz club ...

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

Well it's all undiscovered territory at the moment! I've had interest
expressed by band who say they'll work for cheap just for the freedom to
play but I certainly don't musicians leaving here with less than three
busboys! And I know that happens all too often even in the big city clubs.

If it is any sort of draw, we have world class fishing no more than a ten
minute walk from our door ;)
