Every comment and reader are dear to me, I am forever indebted to all who have contributed to my blog, sent me mail and encouraged me on my journey.
At times I get comments and/or reactions from the very people I write about, or from those who have played a part in the creation of some of the items I have written about. It’s a real treat to know I describe their lives and/or efforts in a way that does them of their work justice.

On December 29th, 2017, an article on my blog appeared on The Huffington Post. I was interviewed by Aisha K. Staggers, writer. Her findings were published under the title A Pop Life: The Music of Black America from Outside of America, One Blogger’s View. A very proud moment for me and my blog!
