And this comes from the guy who's admitted before that he doesn't care for the most important development in black popular music in the last 20 years, i.e. rap (which Michael didn't have squat to do with, so don't try to blame it on him<g>). BTW, Jeff, they're just the Dirty Dozen now. They dumped the Brass Band part a coupla years ago and watered down what made 'em worthwhile. If yer lookin' for *real* funky brass bands, try New Birth, Treme or Rebirth.--don
