"A decade of unparalleled ontradiction and complexity.
Marked by the depths of depression on one end ...
and the heights of the modern age on the other
A dance between regional movements and culture ...
And the alphabet soup of big government projects."

On our way to bread lines again here if things continue as they are...Each time we pull ourselves back up, it's better than the last. Ever read the book "None Dare call It Conspiracy"? Time for a reprint. Thanks Dale. This is an excellent look back. Appreciate the time you took to put it together. I too, love the music!
