Nice to *see* you, Jerry!
I know what you are talking about. Every year, in Casper, WY, there was a special celebration in honour of Dr. King AND a young Casperite who was killed down South in the 60s when he went there to work for civil rights. At the celebration, we always had a black gospel band with the minister as lead singer and electric guitarist. They really *rocked* and they could go all night!
