Ownership?? Whose talking about ownership?

And btw, I'm not cross. I like the discussion so far. For instance, my comment "And if you wanted to get technical, many African Americans have had "a Europen father and an African mother - or if you prefer, an African father and a European mother" but I understand that you meant that jazz is built on the African and European musical traditions" was written somewhat tongue in cheek.

And lox, I believe I have mentioned to you in another thread or in a private message that I write on the public forum for those who may be lurking now and in the future as well as those who are involved in the discussion.

I would say "lighten up" but then you might respond that you were rather hoping for a
sun tan :o)
