RE: King Sunny Ade 
I noticed at the end of the playlist that King Sunny Ade is going to
be playing so somewhere 2/23. I just want to reiterate what lee said
about them (I was at the same concert): THEY'RE GREAT!!

        They are kind of Nigerian Rock/Reggae/Country. At some moments, they
reminded me of the Allman Brothers (brief moments when they were doing dual
guitar leads: they have SIX guitars besides the bass [if I wasn't hallucinat-
ing]), at other times they sounded like Tribal music, since they had about
six men singing together. The energy generated by 18 people on stage is hard
to express; all I can say is, see them: it's the cross-cultural event of the
season!
