Hi Fred,

It is hot and humid here, but it's not so bad if you can be transported via computer to Preservation Hall to hear a foot stomping hand clapping piece by the Dixie 7.

The trumpet/trombone/clarinet interaction is very nice, and I like the extended clarinet solo. I think the audience might keep you at it, though, with "one more time," again and again, until the piano man, the banjo, even the tuba got their solo licks in.

I've always loved Dixieland. Had several records back when I had 33's. Made tapes of most of them and they will get put on CD once I get this machine set up with something more sophisticated than the sound system that came with it.

I hear, I hear--and it's great fun.

best,
