[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: Secretary of Arts for USA

[BillSargentDrums at aol.com]

No. If it's pertinent to the topic, Secretary of the Arts, and it's  
pertinent to gigs, and it's pertinent to performing music and our ability to do  so, 
and it's pertinent to who we can and cannot hire, or work with, or where we  
can or cannot work, then it is ABSOLUTELY central to the topic . . . and, I  
might add, central to the topic of this board.
 
I didn't see you complain about the suggestion of a Secretary of Arts, just  
my response to it.
 
It is censorship that is party, some might even say, mainly to blame  for the 
predicament many bands and musicians are currently in and facing for the  
near future.
 
You would be far better off to leave me alone and have my say than to rile  
me up further and try to stifle me.
 
There, I've said what needed to be said, and if there's no further counter,  
then I have nothing further to say.
 
Standing my ground on principles,
Bill
