Hi Listees,   I have just finished reading the October 2006 RAG and realized
that  I would no longer be getting all the great articles,
interviews,photographs and reviews that I have looked forward to coming in
my mail box for the past 28 years.   I could always count on the RAG to
brighten my day.   This final issue made me realize how important the RAG is
to OKOM, and what an extremely hard time it was for Leslie to continue to
publish it regularly over the past 33 years.   Her editorial and her
daughter Renee's touching reminisces prompted this posting to DJML.    I
hope that everyone on the DJML, if current subscribers to the RAG, will
continue to support it in it's new internet metamorphosis.    And those
'lurkers' who may never have seen an issue of the RAG, go to the web site
www.mississippirag.com  and get a trial cyberspace subscription at least.
Let's all support Leslie and the RAG and hope it's around for a long while.
Regards, and love and prayers to Leslie Johnson for her work in supporting
the REAL music.       Charlie Coleman
