Hey! You wrote that 00 Soul has lost "a couple of the old guys on horns" (Rebecca Schoenkopf's "Crystal Visions," July 26). Those "old guys" are sax/flute player Jack Fulks and trumpet player Hank Ballard Jr. Jack is a graduate of the USC School of Music and has played with the Afro Blues Quartet, Billy Higgins, Chico Hamilton, Roy Porter and Garbo Szabo. Hank's credits include stints with Lonnie Smith, War, James Brown and Theodore Wilson. Only Hank moved to Ohio. Jack, "an old guy on horn," is still with us, and we sound better than ever. Peace.

Your paper makes me upchuck. Mincing, smugly, self-effacing, pseudo-literate chaff turned out by spoiled, foppish, probably homosexual writers. Which means it's perfect for this county. Keep it up.
