[edit]

Thank you- but please, this is a matter-of-fact, which is why I cited many, many authors and media with their work. This is not an oped - and I stayed far away from anything in "my own words". The purpose here is to also help several other articles and bios in Wikipedia, and one in particular about Bill Black (Combo), wherein he is mentioned, but no further information. He was with many artists, and that is a matter of record (pun not intended). For many folks with 5-minutes of fame/shame get a mention and live on in electrons, to pass this off, for someone who by many others in many articles (and media) have praised, evaluated and reported on for years- and not include him here because I'm submitting it, would not be open and transparent. I can even put you in contact with the sources cited, and send you hard copies. Nothing to hide, and in fact, Wikipedia lists/mentions him- shouldn't he have a background if he's mentioned? (rhetorical). The anniversary of his death is coming up, and this piece i long, long overdue. PLease read and check and not dismiss (like the personal photo) without reading it. Thanks.
