Jazz Writes and Sings for You-How it Started/How to Join
Jul 5, 2012
Several years ago a young woman, impressed with my poetry gifted a site to me. It was like a dream come true. My mother was of Welsh descent and my benefactor was from Wales and 100% Welsh. I could see my mother smiling, in my mind.
Little did I know that Emma was terminally ill and this was her last act of kindness. Young, intelligent and beautiful; the world suffered a huge loss. The site was supposed to be kept going, however, the owner never returned my calls and it disappeared. Watching it grow very quickly in a short amount of time, it couldn't die, I had to do something.
I'd never built a site on my own, links, setups, files, music contributors; this was scary and exciting. Some people from a site I still visit thought I was full of bologna; not anymore. One musician said thanks for the links, but never paid any attention, so I dropped him. This site is for dedicated people, not to be confused with a site that posts anything. Another poet said, "My poems are here, take what you want." It doesn't work like that, you submit and I decide whether or not it's quality work that needs publishing. If you don't have a professional attitude, go elsewhere. The site will always be free to visitors. I pay the monthly fee, buy the mp3 music, unless it's donated, and make sure copyrights aren't being violated. It’s also my job to link, link, proof, rearrange, and keep the site fresh and I'll stop there, because my new section-Mythology and also The Phoenix has many interested people. There's a lot of research to be done. My helper is without a computer right now; I'm typing poorly, due to a bad hand and forget when I last slept. My support system and cheering section are more help than they realize.
