Some more trivia on Dixieland. The band went on tour in 1961 through 1962 visiting Florida, Massachussetts, New York, Canada, England, France, Italy, Switzerland and was the first band to visit the Afircan Continent.

Dixieland also placed 3rd at panorama in 1968. I had the pleasure of meeting Curtis Pierre; he has a great sense of humour. I will say he was the original "rebel with a cause"
