Dear Editor:

Bela Fleck is to be congratulated for bringing into the mainstream more great African music. Friday's concert was not only a great and magnificent event; it also was educational in the sense of displaying African music as the source of much of our modern music, not only blues and jazz, but bluegrass.

The public clamors, we want more great, inventive music. Thanks to the Wheeler and Josh and Stewy.
