didnt mean to offend anyone...........when i said "kids" i only meant the
generation of people (young and old) who havent yet pushed through the
"popular music" sect to experience other art
forms............unfortuneately (sp) having worked in mgmnt and supervising
large numbers of student trips i find myself using the term "kid" or some
derivitive quite often...........my apologies.......

yes many people young and old like understand .....but there is still a
large number of people that are content to exist w/in their little
box.......there is whole world out there and we have to have the courage to
let it be expressed.......

school programs big and small are doing wonderfully to expand the horizons
to students and adults........at the same time there are districts in which
the public wont allow this expression becuz its "different" or more
"radical" than the content of their "box".........

I work with schools daily trying to improve their environments......and
getting shutdown becuz of this.....

those of us who have experienced classical, jazz,
alternative......celtic.....and know its merits.........should encourage
others who have not to venture from life's "little box"............

no hard feelings...........
