<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In St. Louis, two of the best known bands in the
1950's were Sam Gardner's Mound City Six and Don Gumpert's Dixieland Saints Jazz
Band. Of course, Sam is no longer with us but, Don is still playing - at
least, he will be when he recovers from surgery (fingers crossed)!</FONT></DIV>
