[Dixielandjazz] Bob Milke RIP

[Joe Bebco]

Dave Radlauer has covered Mielke extensively in his column for TST,
including the Oakland A's band.  He knew the end was coming and had an
obituary prepared.

For June he is planning a longer retrospective. All of his stories
include downloadable sound files and rare pictures, mostly from Bay
area players like Dick Oxtot and Bob Meilke. You can see his column
