Hi , I'm aware that many of you many have the same thoughts as the sender (I.D not shown) of this message I recieved today... Hi, Please stick to the music and skip the politics . . . Thanks,. With this in mind, I feel in order to explain my rationale in sending the original email I should show the reply I sent to the sender.... My reply: Hi, Sorry if you think I was being over political, but apart from the obvious tragedy, New Orleans to me IS music, so many of our good friends who have played over here at The Bullfrog are from New Orleans - Mike West, Spencer Bohren, Denise Marie, Tony from The Gutter Brothers all live(d) there. I've visited it numerous times and it was my favourite city in the world, an amazing place that existed on a pulse beat of wonderful music and friendly faces. Without New Orleans the music wouldn't have developed to the rich mix we now take for granted. And now it's all gone.... John Roberts Barking Spider. "Good morning America how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done". (Steve Goodman)
