Ed Lacy and All -

I got about the response that I expected. I realize that musicians and
artists in general are of the liberal persuasion. However, if you think
that I am disgusted with the morals of the present administration, it is
NOTHING to what I would be if Clinton were a Conservative or Republican.
And don't bring up Nixon - I would have impeached him for putting on price
controls, but many of you out there are too young to remember those days.

And, my comment wasn't too out of line for klarinet. After all he is a
sexaphonist.

Lighten up, you liberals, I just couldn't resist pointing out some of the
similarities that came to mind.

Actually, I have said many times that Wagner was a great composer (not the
greatest by any means) but he was a despicable human being worthy only of
everyone's scorn.

Also, members please notice, I have not stooped to the liberal tactic of
personally attacking anyone of you list members. Shame on YOU - you are
trampling on my First Admendment rights.

That's enough of this.

Gene Nibbelin
