The past few days my sciatica has reduced me to not being able to do much except get wheeled through airports in Miami and Newark in wheel chairs.? To top it...
As you read, remember this electronic media, which transmit no human nuance, gesture nor inflections....the true basis of communication. Gene, what you said is...
Oh, gosh, I wasn't going to jump into this, but when the (lighter skinned) horse soldiers invaded India millenia ago they ended up instituting what's called...
Sule, that's the voice of reason. Thanks. I think one thing Tony is right about is that there are lots of places for people of good will (or other sorts of...
... ============= I don't know about that, Sule. About what, specifically, Gene? I just don't believe in the blue-eyed White Devil or any devil for that...
Hilary--that's a perfect point; thank you! The Aryans invaded Darvidian India about 1,500 BCE, and the system is still rocking the world. The US is just out...
... I thjink that either Tony expressed himself imprecisely (That's been known to happen.) or you misunderstood him. In my experience, Tony simply does not ...

My feeling is that this group is pretty damned useless, because very few people in it are interested in the subject. It might save the waste in people's time...
Personally, the group is and has been of great use to me. Without the group: 1. I would never have known about the Carolina Chocolate Drops/Sankofa Strings and...
In regards to the below, Tony. I wanted to think about it before I answered. To some extent, I do agree. Bks wanted the newest sounds: Da Blues. So that's...
Please, don't shut it down. This group is useful and satisfying to me. I don't have a lot to post that's on topic, because 1) I'm not Black, 2) I don't try...

No on the more specific issues of the records. Again a lot of this is conjecture that leads to finding out very definite things. Well, of course the thing is...
The vice versa involved with the tunings is important. Mississippi Blues players and their Chicago progeny had better know how to play in open G tuning. You...
I love the Stanley Brothers' music. At the same time, like normal human beings in any culture, they suffer the same inadquacies and backwardness of other...
