  • Jazz & Blues Florida - …

    Moving on and turning out the lights...
    MySpace Clearance: Florida's online guide to live jazz & blues info is leaving MySpace.
    Hello MySpace Friend!
    Jazz & Blues Florida is bailing out of MySpace and focusing on our own websites now. We thought Facebook was the way to go, but now it looks like that is disintegrating, too.
    If you really want to connect to Florida's jazz & blues scene come check out our main site at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com and if you like what you see, shoot me an email and let me know  you want to sign up for our email list. You can opt for daily, weekly or monthly contact and change your mind at any time.
    If you are musician based or touring here, our listings are free - we just need to know about them. Use the email address below to send us the info.
    I am sure you understand the value of these connections and that nowadays providing that connection is your contribution to what keeps us going, like the money you used to spend on newspapers.  This is a one-time request. We will be deleting your MySpace connection after we send this out so you will not be hearing from us again here. 
    See you on the other side, where the good music is happening! Please excuse us if you are already over there, we had to do this as auto as possible due to the high number of friends we have to process.

    MY NEW CD IS EXPECTED FOR RELEASE IN FALL 2010!

    Edward Petersen,

    Just stopping by my friend to show you some love!

    THE THOUGHT FOR TODAY IS ABOUT MUSIC ...

    “Music speaks what CANNOT BE EXPRESSED, SOOTHES the

    mind and gives it rest, HEALS the heart and makes it whole,

    FLOWS from heaven to THE SOUL.”

    MUSIC SOOTHES, HEALS, AND SPEAKS TO US BEYOND MERE

    WORDS!

    Your friend,

    Richard
