Hi GJB Fans,

The Hot Steamed Jazz Festival is set for 2008! Mark your calendars for June 
27, 28 and 29. We'll be there along with a host of other talented musicians for 
another great weekend of traditional jazz. For more information about the 
festival and to order tickets, log on to www.hotsteamedjazz.com. If you would 
like to receive updates directly from The Hot Steamed Jazz Festival, send an 
email to info at hotsteamedjazz.com and ask to be added to their email distribution 
list.  From the Director: “The holiday season is almost upon us and festival 
tickets make great holiday gifts. Order soon to ensure you receive tickets in 
time to put under the tree or in the stockings!”

SUNDAYS at Marisa's in Trumbull! We played our last 2007 gig at Marisas on 
Sunday, Oct 21st, and we had a ball!  Trombonist Skip Hughes was great!    We'll 
let you know what our 2008 dates are as soon as we know!  Remember, there is 
no cover or minimum at Marisa's, but because the food is fabulous, you're 
going to want to order dinner.  There's dancing too!   Marisa's is very easy to 
get to: take the Merritt Parkway toward Trumbull, get off at Exit 48, head north 
for about 3 miles, and it's on your right.   This is a good size restaurant, 
with plenty of seating and parking, and a nice dance floor too.   Marisa's 
address is 6540 Main Street, Trumbull, CT 06611.   The telephone number is 
203-459-4225. 

Beachhead (East Haven, CT) Future performances to be announced, stay tuned. 

Bill Logozzo's Heartbeat Jazz Band will be at Olivers in Essex on Thursday, 
Nov 8th, 7-10PM, with Skip Hughes ! This is a great spot, nice casual 
atmosphere, and good food at a reasonable price.    Of course the music is hot hot hot! 
  Dancing too!   Look for them at Olivers usually on the first Thursday of 
each month.   Contact Bill Logozzo at Bill @nutmegchrome.com for information on 
the band and how to order CDs.   

~November 16-18, Suncoast Dixieland Jazz Classic, Clearwater Beach, Florida.  
 Go to www.jazzclassic.net.   We won't be there.
this year, but go anyway as the band lineup is fabulous!   We hope to be back 
in 2008!

 News and happenings from our friend, Bruce McNichols

>From Good Friend Bill Taggart:
“Bruce has been moved to a rehab center in another part of town.   They're 
giving him medicine that allows him to get out of bed for brief sessions of 
walking short distances.   In other words, he's improving!    He almost sounds 
like his old self.   He's got a long way to go but we have good reason to be 
optimistic.   He doesn't know how long he'll be in rehab but he promised to keep 
me up to date.

He doesn't have access to a computer in the hospital.   He can't reply to 
email.   I understand that if you send email to his regular address at Muskrat 
Productions the messages will be periodically printed out and taken to him. In 
the meantime he would prefer to not have a bunch of well-meaning friends 
phoning him in the hospital all   the time...   This sounds rational to me. More 
when I get it...Love y'all,      Bill Taggart

Galvanized Jazz Band CDs
Please check our web site, www.galvanizedjazz.com, for details on how and 
what to order.   We have a new CD in the works of our August Music Mountain 
performance with Jim Fryer and Bob Price.   It was a very special night and a great 
performance.   We'll let you know when it's available.   We're also moving 
along on the Howard Alden-Dirck Spicer-Noel Kaletsky CD from a fabulous Jan 1, 
1984 Millpond Tavern session!   We'll keep you posted.   Oh yes, I found a box 
of our Louis Nelson/Tommy Benford CD from 1971.   This is a great session from 
the past, so don't pass up this opportunity to get a copy.     

See you soon!   Thanks for your support!
