exposed, Mitchell had no chance of exoneration by the court. While Mitchell’s court-martial proceeded into December, the Morrow Board submitted its report to President Coolidge regarding the possibility and predicted outcome of bolstering the Air Service.

The song ended with a nice fade out. Overall, I appreciate this song but did not enjoy it. Why I Feel This Album Represents R&B, Funk, and Rock…
