<div dir="auto">On another note, we recently began to play Benny Goodman's "A Smooth One", but a slightly slower mood. A really good tune. Fluglehorn and trombone in unison, breaking out in harmonies on the bridge. <br><br></div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Excellent, Jim. Is that really Tiger Rag or did you interpolate Bill Bailey into it?

<p class="MsoNormal">I just received the monthly notice that DJML is still an active mailing list, although since we lost our most avid posters awhile back, there has been little activity! Shame, but that is life for you. Fortunately, I’m still playing, although not at the levels of activity we had “pre pandemic”, but I gather that is the same world-wide. Again, that’s life!

<p class="MsoNormal">I just got around to posting on YouTube some videos from a concert we had in August. This concert was put on by the local city hall of Guadarrama, a town that sits on the foothills of a range of mountains near Madrid, Spain (Madrid being where I live!). Our band, Canal Street Jazz Band …now in our 55<sup>th</sup> year of continuous playing, was invited to play in this lovely town square, and I thought it might be entertaining for some of you to have a small view of what this sort of summer concert can be like in Spain. Yes, it was hot! Yes, there were the requisite small children who couldn’t sit still, etc., but overall it was a nice evening. I will add a few links below to various bits of songs we did, including what I would call “the foot stunt” that I tend to do if the ambience calls for it. Always goes well, but may not be acceptable to the purists out there! We claim to play traditional jazz, but have never claimed to “be traditional”! :>

Fun night!

<p style="margin-left:.5in">So, just to let the few of you that may still be on the list that I’m still honking, and if you ever plan of a visit to Madrid, be sure and let me know. For the some 25 (or more!) years on the list I’ve met so, so many folks from the list…all lovely folks!
