Hi y'all..
As a guest to this great website and message board, I didn't want to presume to reply to the other comments by making them spread so far off the board it would become hard on the eyes! LOL
Anyway, I hope taking the liberty of starting a new thread is not out of line...and that I might reply to all you kind people who had such nice things -- and interesting family stories of your own -- to say to me about the tribute to Capt. Ike Turner.
In any event, I will write to each of you via your own e-mail addys. And again, thanks to all of you for your words. I want to say for the record though, it was my fellow SCV brothers -- and the citizens -- of Polk Country, Texas, who put on this magnificent event.
I only wrote about it.
Warmest Southern thoughts,
Randy
