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! gary cottrell
