Posted by Much obliged Of course the question must always be brought up: don't the Rhodes Trustees have any standards? They most certainly do, but the true explanation for my success in the competition comes from a long-time friend of The Vetivers called Jenny Polka. She catapulted the group from oblivion into regional fame with our performances for cheering thousands at the famed AMC Studio 30 and into the national spotlight when we played to many more thousands at the renowned Hot Air Balloon Festival at Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base. Until recently this had seemed like a wonderful gift, but the conclusion to Jenny's influence on The Vetivers. Little did we know that Jenny was to have a much more profound effect on the nation's favorite band; you see, Jenny Polka is the Colossus Rhodes! Paul, your comments on a previous message could not have been more appropriate. Being that my award coincides with the transfer of Hideki Erabu to Japan, the Colossus plans to expropriate the world from your shoulders and transfer it to him. I appreciate all the support and light-hearted comradery that you all have shared with me in the last five and a half years. May it only continue well into the coming years, and may The Vetivers live on in our future host countries around the world. Your all-star drummer, Ben

I must say that the congratulatory messages have been appreciated, but congratulatory massages would be much better! My endeavors studying at Oxford, as most of you must have guessed by now, are merely a pretense for spreading the sounds of The Vetivers throughout the world. You all really should have seen it coming, what with all the euro-based lyrics and the title of the new cd.
