A visit to the Bix Beiderbecke music festival. Good friend Ge and I did this in July, 2006. We didn't have much of a view for some of the time but the music was pretty good.

Hey Jim,
I really like your video of the Bix Fest. My wife & I went up for it 3 or 4 years ago and had a great time. We might have to return this summer for another good strong dose of trad jazz. Your video sure brought back the memories! Tom Warner in Kansas City = tdub1941

Thank you. All my life I've wanted to go to the festival. When I was kid my best friend was from Davenport and always bragged about Bix. His dad loved Bix and that's how I first heard Bix. They had a bumper sticker on their car that simply said "Bix Lives". It's the one bumper sticker that I would put on my car -and all over my guitar cases. Oh to be in Davenport in July.
