Hello everyone, glad to see this page.

I play in southern California mainly with my Band, Hobo Jazz (hobojazz.com) & Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys (janetklein.com). Lots of 1920’s & 30’s material with the latter, The whole gamut with the former.

This sight has a lot of potential & I’m looking forward to seeing what happens.

Truer words have never been said! I’d been playing bass for a month or so when we recorded that & I love the barely tolerable stumblingness of the bass.

Since I put that tune up on our myspace people have been requesting it at shows. Maybe a video will show up to show the updated drunkenness of it all.
