Re: Yes, I was as surprised as you. What a combination! Sorry, that was meant to be about Mr Dave playing steel. I like the stripy legs on his instrument, too.

its crazy to think that mabey john mayer might have ripped from this song for waiting on the world to change..

Is that Jools Holland?

>> Is that Jools Holland? Yes. He was the co-host of Night Music in the first season in 1988-89.

At the original 1963 March on Washington, the 250,000 count was a conservative early number with more people steadying arriving. At best 500,000 showed up that day. Still, not to take anything from Dr. King, Brother Garvey, if the historical accounts are correct, average one million people at his marches.

by saying 'There's a train a-coming, get ready' that was like saying, okay, so regardless of what happens, get yourself together for this because you are going to get a chance. Your chance is coming. Its about our chance for redemption -- the long-sought chance to rise above racism, to stand apart from despair and any desire for retaliation -- an end to the cycle of pain.
