Larry, I am glad to hear that the way your performance went was well accepted although I'm certainly not surprised. Perhaps a few people have noticed at last that you are indeed a bard for our times. How one can listen to your work and not see this obvious truth is beyond my comprehension. I'm overjoyed you felt the performance itself was good, but even I could make your material meaningful because the truth is within what you do.

I suppose that's why I find it so stupid that anyone of your writing caliber should be held to any form of, shall we say "artistic" scrutiny. You should be welcome and frankly invited to many venues simply on the basis of your songwriting alone. It's one thing to be topical and another entirely to be as inciteful as you are. I have nothing but praise for your abliliteis as you know and I hope folks like Peggy Seeger and Si Kahn have seen the same thing that many of us have here.

May it get better still.
