<div dir="auto">Thanks for the info on Jazz in St. Pete, Florida. The hotel mentioned, where the band is playing, is actually one of the hotels I had been looking at. We are booked into one nearby, though. However, we unfortunately arrive close to midnight on a Wednesday (in Feb 2019), and fly back to Madrid on the following Tuesday. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">We have made plans to go hear listmate Barb Jordan on the Monday. Is it Scarapini's in Brandenton, Barb?<br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I went to my last year of High School in St. Pete, but haven't been back since. I recall that there was a band playing on the beaches then, and had heard they were still going on years later. I never heard them, being underage then! <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I started a Dixieland band at the high school, which continued for awhile after I left. The clarinetist later had a life time of playing due to that little band, he later told me. He has since past away. The trumpeter married our girl pianist. I believe he became a mortician. Maybe we shouldn't have played St. James Infirmary so much! <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Going back to St. Pete for a family wedding (my wife's family}. She's from Ireland, but has many, many more relatives in the U.S. than I do....and, I'm American!<br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Thanks again for all the info.<br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Jim<br><br></div>
