[Mb-hair] Visceral connections

[richard haase]

I am talking less philosphically
( spelling aside )
the 60s unfortunately like the 70s eg disco has been somewhat trashed
undeservedly due to historical currents
conservative etc

so there is something to work against etc

i just love love love the show
and i want to do another major production
and am wading through the landmines
lol
all love to all of you

being a member of the tribe is all i wanted to be from the time i was 10 and
consider being a member of this group one of the greatest and most heart
felt honors of my life
no shit word
