[Dixielandjazz] Aker Bilk - Re: We're back!

[Marek Boym]

Although Jim sent me instructions how to do it, I have elected not to do
anything about it - I do not need to receive my own posts.  I did when I
joined the list, then it stopped.  I didn't mind then, and don't mind now.
With kind regards,
Marek
