[Dixielandjazz] Vale Marek Boym

[Ross Anderson]

I agree with all that Bill and Frank have said.
A very nice man and it is so sad that he has passed.
Best wishes to ALL list mates.

Dear Frank and DJML Listmates.
Oh no! 
What a shock.
I was wondering why we had not heard from Marek since late January 2021.
I 'met' him shortly after I joined the List about 1999, shortly after I
bought my first Apple Mac computer.

was beyond belief. As I tell it "Marek could not only name the main
instrumentalist but also name all the side-men in an obscure recording!".

And knew what jazz he liked. And what he didn't. <big grin>

I certainly will. 
We talked a lot off-list. About Jazz, discography and lots of other
interesting things. Including beer.
An amazing man.
Kind regards,
Bill.
