Thanks for putting that out there, Don. I think we've all become better people because of the likes of those singers. I remember playing "White Boots Marching In a Yellow Land" for my dad in 1970, when I was not quite 17, and his response was, "Just remember he's making money off that." But he was a product of his times, just as you are a product of yours. Fortunately, my relationship with my dad improved by the time he died in 1991. Your son is lucky to have you.

Aloha,
Mark
