[Dixielandjazz] Re - the Who lectures.

[Barb Jordan]

Dave, Don et al,

 

I would just like to add that I did not intend to criticize Bob's post, but rather merely wanted to enthusiastically express my agreement with Dave.  I have the utmost respect and admiration for the wealth of knowledge and history that the "older" folks on the list provide to me and others. I have learned a lot since joining the list and many of you are very inspiring (Steve Barbone, Dave Richoux, Bob Ringwald, Bill Haesler and others). 

 

But I was definitely on the same page as Dave and just wanted to let him know. Purely reaching out....
