Re: Canadians and MLK (was Re: Luann Kowalek)
on one of the Live at the Mountain STage disc's, there is a Pop's Staples cut where he talks about MLK and says's that this was his favorite song, then plays it. Sorry I can't remember which Mountain STage Record or which cut it was. Jeff Wall http://www.twangzine.com The Webs least sucky music magazine 727 Alder Circle - Va Beach, Va - 23462 -(757) 467-3764

Re: Canadians and MLK (was Re: Luann Kowalek)
