I could not sit still the entire performance.

While the music and dancing are spectactular, the story is powerful. I realize Bill T. needed to blur some of the hard facts in order to create a broadway show, but in no way does some of the "fictionalization" take away from the political impact.

One problem for me, though. I still can't get "Twelve O'clock, six O'clock, nine O'clock" just right. Need more lessons.

I would like to know if I contact Mr. Bill T. Jones I am trying to the same thing he achieved with Fela with another famous Black Musician who's the story I really want to tell as a concert\Musical Biographical show!

I have started a script but it is very hard to try to make some thing like this....

If he please write back...

thank you.
