    Greetings Mr. Letcher! Mine is a voice from waaay back in the past. I mean, way back like West Elementary school in D.C. Way back like walking home from Brightwood Elementary singing the Coaster's "Poison Ivy". It's great to see that you are a musician and a promoter and protector of this great cultural heritage. Peace, Qasim Abdul-Tawwab (Alain Rogers)
