D and B Fantastic

I was sorry to read in Monday's
CD that Ray Bonavita did not
enjoy the Delaney & Bonnie concert.
I saw the show and was not
"sorely disappointed," but instead
awed and very impressed.

True, they were plagued by very
poor sound equipment, and it's
hard to blame those who left halfway
through. But I think most of
those who stayed and caught their
extended version of "Where There's
a Will" noticed a great difference.
The song was fantastic, D&B were
smiling at each other, and I had the
feeling that they had finally gotten
it all together, even if only for a
short time and for a few people.

Maybe it's all a matter of taste.
I'm sorry that the show didn't go as
well as it should have, but I still
thought it was a fantastic show, and
that says a lot for Delaney and
Bonnie.
