Still the stompingest Dixie band around. Today was a fun afternoon. Two birthdays - a guy of 79 and a girl considerably younger. Both light fantasticked in front of the stage.
Probably never heard of Jelly Roll Morton yet showed their appreciation in their own way.
Olive sang one of my favourite Gershwin songs - Soon - I hope she sings it again - Soon.
Later, Says My Heart, Backyard, Blue Skies... all good stuff.
Jim blew the volcanic ash from his clarinet to great effect on Tin Roof Blues whilst Herbie slipped, slided, growled and slurred his way around the deep south.
Grand afternoon.
Lance.
