[Dixielandjazz] We're back!

[Marek Boym]

Strange.
I thought I was getting DJML emails, as some of Ross' and others came
through, but I did not receive this one.  And I have not been receiving my
own posts in my mailbox since times immemorial (my age, that means "recent"
- I remember things from long ago).
Somehow, those waistcoats bring to mind "Stranger on the Shore."  I didn't
like the popular version (in later years, Bilk continued to play it, and it
sounded great with no strings attached!)
Cheers
