Right on. I was positive people felt this way. I couldnt agree more that
electronic music crosses and fuses all ethnic & cultural groups. I guess its
unreasonable for me to want all people to know this especially due to
economic and social conditions. In due time I suppose. I apologize if
anyone got the idea I was excluding other peoples. I think i used the term
people of color. I support a diverse range of music not only limited to
electronic. A little more thought has brought me some peace of mind on this
whole subject. As i said before, in due time.
Beau.
