One is a good singer. The other good pianist. Whats not to like. (As they 
say).

 PS -- I disagree with the moniker OKOM because it makes me  feel that we

OKOM is OUR kind of music because no one else is interested in it.We are not 
keeping it from the world. They don`t want it. It will never get the media 
cover to build it into a major portion of the musical scene. The younger 
generation just do not have the oppportunity to hear OKOM in their formative 
years. Sure there are succesful bands and festivals but how many bands are 
there whose name would command instant recognition in anyone under 60?  But 
they could name half a dozen rappers. We are wasting our time trying to turn 
the clock back. Lets just enjoy what we have as long as it lasts

Cheers

Pat
