OK, guys, we do some phunkay dancing down here in New Orleans, and this
is of interest to some, if not many of you. I know it is commercial, but
some expressed interest in private e-mail, and I think this event definately
qualifies as IDM, given many of you's interest in Acid Jazz, the Jazz roots
of House music and many other forms. We here in New Orleans are proud to be
the birthplace of Jazz and to host this premier music event.
Remain ignorant and hit 'd' if you'd like at this point. But, I post in the
hopes that you will collectively disprove the thought of this list being
the (I)gnorant (D)eletion of (M)ail. BTW, it is about 10 screenfuls long,
and loaded with gems throughout, so read carefully.
Feel free to forward/post this on to alt.jazz or whetever. I don't have
Usenet News access.
