[Dixielandjazz] djml not dead, just resting!

[Keith Garner]

Hi All

It was good to read Jim K's account of things in Spain, and his comment 
about 'keeping it going' made me think that I ought to do my bit and 
chip in with an email.

I wonder if any list members have come across this site -

https://www.jazznorthwest.co.uk/

It's put together as a labour of love by Fred, who started it 27 years 
ago when he retired, on the home page he says - "Welcome to my world of 
Traditional Jazz. The pages which follow are a tribute to the musicians 
who have dedicated themselves to playing the music of New Orleans and 
Dixieland in the North West of the British Isles". He describes it as "A 
no frills fast loading site". I can't begin to describe its contents but 
suggest that it's worth a visit by anyone interested in OKOM. It has 
pages for most of the bands playing in the area, many with musical 
examples. Check it out and see what one man - not a musician - has done 
for our music.

The arrival of Covid, virtually put an end to my playing days. I was 
getting to the age where a round trip of three or four hundred miles for 
an evening gig was becoming a chore - and my daughter told me that I 
should act 'age-appropriately!!. I did remind her that a few years ago I 
depped with a band whose drummer was in his late 90s. He actually 
survived to play some gigs when he was 100.

I've long had an interest in sound recording and when the lockdown came 
I started to sort out a few to put up on YouTube. It's always been a bit 
hit and miss to record while actually playing, but I've always been more 
interested in capturing the atmosphere than producing hi-fi. There's 
quite a range, the earliest date back to the mid 1960s and the most 
recent to the 2000s. If anyone would like to check some of them out, my 
channel is Keramos Jazz Echoes and a few of the tracks are -

Apologies in advance to Jim K for the low-fi

Regards
Keith Garner
