Thanks for your comments, and I wish I had been around to hear your band it 
those days. With that line-up in a college cafeteria you wouldn't have 
needed much sound equipment. Sounds a very similar grouping to orchestras 
like Woody Herman, who I saw twice here in the UK. I think the high cost of 
travel probably killed that era of music off.
