Limericks by Eddie Erickson and Bill Dendle

Longtime friends and musical colleagues Eddie Erikson and Bill Dendle share their favorite limericks with a large crowd gathered for the STJS "Jazz Sunday" meeting Feb. 10, 2008. Bob Draga adds commentary afterward. All three musicians worked as clinicians on the previous day for the TJYBF (Trad. Jazz Youth Band Festival) presented by STJS (Sac. Trad. Jazz Society) and Sac. State Jazz Studies.

The Trad Jazz Youth Band Festival (TJYBF) is an all-day festival dedicated to the performance and teaching of traditional jazz, with combo bands performing non-competitively. Every combo receives feedback and lead-sheet clinics following its performance. The festival also includes an optional Friday evening, pre-festival, hosted jam session, plus master classes, lecture/demo, an evening showcase concert, and admission to the next-day STJS "Jazz Sunday" concert. TJYBF is believed to be the only scholastic festival for Dixieland or traditional jazz, and is open to school bands, jazz club-sponsored bands, and independent youth bands. Anyone may purchase a festival pass to attend performances.
TJYBF is presented by the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society (STJS) and Sac. State University Jazz Studies, in cooperation with Traditional Jazz Educators Network (TJEN).
