<p>Hi All</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I wonder if any list members have come across this site - <br>

<p>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. <br>

<p>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.

<p>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 -</p>
