Bob, I just visited and must listen to more! Your messages are essential, your socially conscious songs hit the mark. I like the stand you take. Many thanks for your listening to "Ride the Wave." A vote of confidence from you is very meaningful coming from you. You've probably noticed Broadjam has a very red presence, but it's not the only place and it's important to get our messages out. You have very earnest vocals on top of the terrific songs you write...some with the great urgency of a Neil Young song among others. John

Hey, Crazy, now you've got me wondering, hmm...where could I put in a flute in "We Didn't Have Time Enough"? I love Joni Mitchell. "For the Roses," "Court and Spark," and "Hejira" are my favorite albums. There's a member who hasn't been on BJ for awhile, Andrea Speaks, has the best song Joni Mitchell never wrote called "Lighthouse." It is absolutely lovely. She's over in Westwood, a lot closer to you than out here in the 110 degree heat of Phoenix. Anyway, Bob, thank you for your enjoyment and nice words for "We Didn't Have Time Enough." I took a look at some images of Plymouth...what a beautiful town...snug buildings and narrow streets. John
