I guess you're right. I can understand their disappointment.

I don't know if there's going to be a next > generation of young musicians coming through to follow up in our > footsteps." he really meant "I don't know if there's going to be a next generation of young BLACK Detroit musicians coming through to follow up in our footsteps." I've had discussions on several disparate occasions with Black Detroit artists (Rob Hood, Kenny Larkin, Bone, etc.) and they all bemoaned to me the fact that there seemed to be no young Black cats coming up through the ranks - that all the young brothers were just interested in Hip-Hop now, and didn't care about Techno. They all understood why things were the way they were, but it made them sad nevertheless. Obviously I don't live in Detroit so I don't know all the current players on the scene, but off the top of my head I couldn't think of anyone younger than, say, Sean Deason (chime in Sean!) or Kenny Dixon Jr. (or our own Jwan, if we stretch Detroit over to Pittsburgh :-) ). (One thing that triggered my thinking of this line of reasoning was listening to Kenny's old Dark Comedy track "Without A Sound (Silent Mix)" from "Corbomite Maneuver". [EMAIL PROTECTED] what a sublime track. It's going on my Wedding music list.) - Greg
