The Philadelphia Blues Messengers want to thank Warren Oree and all of the organizers of the West Oak Lane Jazz and Arts Festival 2007.      The Festival is on its way to becoming one of the best jazz festivals on the East Coast and is a wonderful way to bring together the community of musicians that call Philadelphia home.  Philadelphia is the Mother City of democracy.  All of the participants in the festival are dedicated to the continuation of the music of the people, for the people, and by the people. Byard lancaster said it:                                                       "MUSIC IS OUR OIL."                                        Let's work together, Philly    Love from the Messengers
