Hey, Don!  

   Brian Towers is one of the good guys!  He is an
Englishman-become-Canadian who is still an Anglo-American--i.e., he has not
sold out to the Pee-On-America crowd now controlling the British Isles.  He
is a man from whose forebears my own might proudly claim descent.   If he
played in an English band and would consent to play for my July 4th
celebration (as he well might) I would hire him  in an instant and be proud
to have him!

OF COURSE he owns a Labrador!  I could have predicted that.  Good dog, Max!
