[Dixielandjazz] Who and Where We Are ???

[Augustine Daniel]

    Well, OK.

1) Who are you?
        Dan Augustine.

2) Where are you?
        Austin, Texas. 

3) Musician?
        Depends who you ask. But, yes, usually. Play tuba in 4 dixieland bands
        here and have written a lot of leadsheets and some arrangements of dixie tunes.
        Also have a Ph.D. in music theory, but couldn't get a job teaching in college,
        so i became a mainframe computer-programmer at the University of Texas
        at Austin for 24 years (but have been retired for 14 years). Also play in a
        British-style brass band (Eb Bass in Austin Brass Band), concert band,
        2 polka bands, 4 dixieland bands, a brass ensemble, and substitute on tuba 
        in a brass quintet, symphony orchestra, banjo club. Also write and publish
        arrangements (see my Daniel S. Augustine page at Sheet Music Plus Press).

and, for good measure,
4) When did you join this august list?
         No, i joined in April, not August, of 2000. Went to several "Face to Face" DJML meetings at the old Sacramento Jazz Jubilee and have an authentic "DLML" badge.

Dear Digimellers.  Quite some time ago, our dear listmate Don Robertson, in response to at that time the same request of mine I'm about to make again, compiled an Excel spreadsheet of the responses, ie, Who and Where We Are.  The point of the exercise then is the same as now:  lurker or not, it would be extremely enlightening.

So, -- and no, I'm not going to do a spreadsheet, but I will compile an old-fashioned List -- let's hear it:

Lurker or Not (and this exercise includes *EVERYBODY*, ie, even current/frequent posters; accuracy, you know),

1) Who are you?,
2) Where are you?,
3) Musician?, and, for good measure,
4) When did you join this august list?

I'll start.

Mike Logsdon; Salinas, Calif; non-musician (except in my head); joined in approx if not actually May 1995, making me, I think, one of the "charter members", or, at least, I'd like to think of myself as one if not actually.

Now... the rest of you...!
