... and I wish that that there was more FOLLOW UP. Because I spent the last week thinking about EVOLUTION and RACISM after seeing the responses to that topic.

Read more…I think that the NEXT TIME that a GLOBAL STEELBAND gets a chance to PERFORM on a BIG STAGE -- the QUALITY OF THE MUSIC must be a MAJOR CONSIDERATION!!!
