Louis Katzman's grandson gave an informative talk on his grandfather's various activities as a musician and BMI arranger. Phil Rutledge talked about Tom Hoskins' rediscovery of Mississippi John Hurt, and Dr. Rainer Lotz presented some fascinating examples of Weimar Republic era jazz performances by expatriate Americans, nearly all of them obscure (Sam Wooding was one who 78-l-ers might be familiar with). Everyone got to take home a 3 oz. sample bottle of Gates BBQ sauce, small enough to get through TSA security, but large enough to cause consternation as my luggage was ransacked to find out what this mysterious little bottle of liquid was. When they saw, the security types said, "Ohhh, that's great stuff!" and let me pass.
