But they are evil. I just got back from a weekend of world music and the
group Visten
(http://www.worldmusicfestival.com/performers/2003/vishtenpage.html) played.
You might notice the lady on the right has that most dangerous weapon in
her hand, a Violin!!!!!!! But coming through customs our brave and fearless agents opened their gear
two or three times. Probably the last inspector was brave enough to see if
it would explode - the SOB broke the bridge and we had a 16 year old find
out about it just before their first performance.
This was a true world music fest with people from all over the world and
down the street. Many of them had similar stories to tell and the son of Obo
Addy, a national treasure since the age of four from Ghana, could not get
his son in even though he had been a frequent visitor in the past.
