[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: CMJ not OKOM at all but back up for my comments about Mighty Aphrodite

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Hi folks:  here is what College Music is really all about today, so my 
comments about Mighty Aphrodite should be relevant as to their chances 
of being selected to showcase at this conference.

Hell they even have George Clinton on a panel, now he would certainly 
be all in favor of them :))   If he could stay awake long enough for 
them to come on stage, They look really Funky to him, but probably 
smell way too clean.  Let's Face it folks, Brea just does not look 
Funky even on a bad hair day :))
