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. </span><div style="font-size: 16px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 16px;">If anything does come up on the dixieland front, I’ll report it.</div><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Paul Kurtz Jacksonville, FL</span><br style="font-size: 16px;"><div style="font-size: 16px;"><br><div>On Mar 16, 2023, at 1:27 PM, jim@kashprod.com wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta charset="UTF-8"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); padding: 3pt 0cm 0cm;"><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>De:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:jim@kashprod.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">jim@kashprod.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><<a href="mailto:jim@kashprod.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">jim@kashprod.com</a>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><b>Enviado el:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>jueves, 16 de marzo de 2023 18:24<br><b>Para:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>'Ron L"Herault' <<a href="mailto:lherault@verizon.net" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">lherault@verizon.net</a>><br><b>Asunto:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>RE: [Dixielandjazz] testing<o:p></o:p></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">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. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Jim<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); padding: 3pt 0cm 0cm;"><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>De:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Ron L"Herault <<a href="mailto:lherault@verizon.net" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">lherault@verizon.net</a>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><b>Enviado el:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>jueves, 16 de marzo de 2023 3:08<br><b>Para:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Jim Kash <<a href="mailto:jim@kashprod.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">jim@kashprod.com</a>><br><b>CC:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>'Dixieland Jazz Mailing List' <<a href="mailto:dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">dixielandjazz@ml.islandnet.com</a>><br><b>Asunto:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [Dixielandjazz] testing<o:p></o:p></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 18.666668px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">It’s rather a shame how FB has taken over.
