A lot of Americans are so ego centered that if they are not the center than they insist on rebuffing their environment to suit themselves. I have been guilty of such behavior, I am a work in progress and strive to be better. I was pleased that almost everyone of the Spitfire group watching the inauguration of Obama, listening attentively as the musicians played an original composition for the occasion. The only comment made afterwards was by myself and I said "Brilliant!". I often think that of what I hear you play, Dan, but don't tell you. I guess I'm telling you now. Love, B.
