Hi MAB

I greatly appreciate your comments MAB. In answer I can only restate my comments to Dave above. I have no political or cultural agenda here, You're aware of such claims as you have said. My only intention is to - discover what if any historical evidence exists one way or another for the NA connection.

If I find none I'll state it - if I find some I'll publish it!

The blues belongs to everybody - as does the truth about it's origins!

Regards MAB

Thanks so much for your input here!
