# 3: Stories About The Songs/A Word
"A Word" was written after a South Africa conference 1996 at the Protestant Church Academy Bad Boll (near Stuttgart). To this conference were invited the future members of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission like Dr. Alex Boraine (Deputy Chairman) and South Africa's Minister of Justice in that time, Dr. Dullah Omar. All South African guests came to Germany to listen how Germany dealt with the past - the Nazi time and also the GDR past.
I was in a working group with Dr. Dullah Omar and asked him about his impressions/opinions about how he think Germany dealt with the past and what he thinks how South Africa can handle it. He said: "I will explain tomarrow with my speach". A day later South Africa's Minister Of Justice explained the concept of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and amnesty. The reactions from the German part of the conference was "this is not justice". Dullah Omar said: "We don't have in Zulu a word for justice - we have a simillar word - ubuntu - but ubuntu means make peace".

cd review
by Norman DarwenThe first four tracks encapsulate Arkansas-born Billy Jones. ...a wicked, raw, live version of Albert King's 'Personal Manager', 'my Hometown', a bleak, stark portrayal of the ghetto set to a busy but laid-back and bluesy musical commentary that epitomizes what some have defined as his "gangsta bluez" (...though it is perhaps even better on 'Ain't Good Lookin'), the rocking, rollicking, down-home, and subtly Howling Wolf inflected 'Blues Comes Callin'' and the bluesy/ reggae…See More
