TURN OFF'S

Poverty, and the increasingly wide gap between the rich and the poor is the subject of some of our songs.

I wrote the song "The Ghetto" to express my anger and frustration over the way the powerless are treated in America(it's not much better elsewhere). The rich and powerful grab all the wealth for themselves...the rest of us fight over the crumbs. It is not a song about Blacks and Whites, by the way. It's about the have's and the have nots. The Ghetto in the title could just as well refer to a Mexican or Puerto Rican neighborhood, as an African-American one. And, for centuries the Jews in Europe lived in ghettos. Unless we learn to "love thy neighbor..." it is likely we will destroy ourselves and the whole planet as well.

Music is often about having a musical vision and that being brought out. Your doing this and I commend you for it. These songs of yours are unique and amazing at the same time. Love them all.

HI! Just to let you know, I agree with what you are saying about poverty. I can't say I live in a posh neighbourhood myself. There is no country club down the road, unless you can consider the community center, where the social services officeis located, next to the church that hosts the soup kitchen, as qualifying.

All the best, Bryan Anthony
