[78-L] THis appears to be the big weekend event during ARSC Conference

Evan Christopher will be in Europe. Topsy Chapman will be singing 
with the band on Wednesday the 19th. Leroy Jones will be at the Palm 
Court on the 20th - his sound is sort of a cross between traditional 
and modern jazz. Clive Wilson will be there on the 21st, and Lionel 
Ferbos on the 22nd. Lionel is 98 years old! Tom Fischer and Leon "Kid 
Chocolate" Brown will be at the Palm Court on Sunday the 23rd - 
Fischer is a versatile reed player and Brown is a very good 
up-and-coming trumpeter.

I like the music at the Palm Court, but not the food. I'd recommend 
eating somewhere else first.
