[Dixielandjazz] testing

[Paul Kurtz Jr]

I don’t know if there’s any “fault” to it; it’s just a matter of when somebody has something to say, they should say it. It is right that a number of our loquacious people have deceased. Also, with Covid and the other stuff that’s happened, there aren’t as many gigs to generate conversation. In my case, I’m playing more concert band and brass group music than dixieland. I have lost some local people who used to pull me in for gigs and that’s not helped in generating this type of conversation. 

If anything does come up on the dixieland front, I’ll report it.

Dunno if it is al FBs fault.  We’ve just lost a lot of members, and particularly those that did the “jammin’” (not musically speaking, but with words).  Marek, of course, was a great stimulator for discussion.  I always laughed as he was very so much stuck in his ways.  If it was the style he liked, then it was good.  He was even that way when we discussed wines privately.  And, Bob Ringwald used to keep things going.  And, we had some Aussies that were very knowledgeable.  I’m afraid I’m not great on the history of jazz discussions.  I’ve just played anything that has swing, and never really went into where it came from.  
 
The Canal Street Jazz Band is still honking, albeit having lost a number of jazz sites during the pandemic, and to economics in general.  We’ve got another gig this Sunday at a club that used to feature only jazz, but now has all kinds of live music with the occasional Jazz.  Next month, a wedding, a gig at a Japanese restaurant (a know, weird!), and back to this no jazz joint (they have us in usually once a month).  So, keeping fairly busy here in Madrid.

It’s rather a shame how FB has taken over.  It’s great for posting pictures but not easy to use for meaningful discussions.

It's alive, but like most things our age, just barely!
