Well Jim,
With all do respect toyour musicianship and knowledge, I have to go along with Leslie on that one. Nowadays is a very different type of temperment and sensitivity.
I think most everyone participating in this list has been bothered by the Burns program. I say the best way to deal with it is perhaps what Bob Byler implied about taking the opportunity to do something creative ourselves. We don't even really need Ken Burns...as a matter of fact to Hell and back with the M..........r!
Oh, excuse me, I was doing my Branford impression! Sorry Leslie! No but seriously folks, I think referring to those gentlemen's color, even if associated with Moran and Mack or whomever, would most definately offend a visitor, perhaps a young person or an African American person.
Peace to all you folks
