IGOR: So be it. If we can now stick to what we all love... jazz.......OKOM .>>

Fat chance. Just in the past few emails, I've read references about certain 
laws, which leads to legalities, then to who wrote them and which side of the 
political fence the lawyers who wrote them were on.

There was a reference to the war between the states.

Yesterday, there was a prayer.

There have been references to certain brands of drink & booze.

Talk about female breasts, bordellos . . .

travel . . . musician's bad behavior . . . musicians personalities . . .

volumes now on business/professional conduct on the gig . . .

discussions about recording techniques . . . .

and all other sorts of things that weren't jazz music. (Including washboards, 
just kidding . . . maybe)

But I place one post, that I didn't write, in a memoriam to our national day 
of tragedy, mourning, and resolve, that I happen to think was very well 
written and on the money, and a whole bunch of folks go all to pieces.

Man, get a skin. The implications of 9-11-01 had a huge impact on all of us 
in this nation, and the world . . . and just as importantly on musicians and 
jazz.

If you doubt it, consider how your travel has changed in the past year. I 
know musicians who used to travel that no longer wish to. Too much of a 
hassle.

A huge chunk of our economy is gone. Less money for gigs.

I could go on, but what I posted yesterday had just as much right to be on 
this list as it would on any other list in America yesterday.

Fact is, next year, I'll probably do it again . . . AND place a prayer with 
it.

God Bless America!
