I had several dealings with John Schroeder in recent years regarding a publishing connection between one of our Soul Junction projects connected to his time in Canada and found him to be a very modest and humble man. Helpful in every way, the quintessential English gentlleman. A man who could sell sand to a arab with the popularity (even today) of his UK funk band Cymande in America. Dave

What happened to the hole in the middle ?

and John Tefteller is selling a lot of 'em Dave
