Joan,
Thanks for the article on these lovely
ladies of song. You are the only person I know that
truly keeps the lives of female instrumentalists, composers,
vocalists and others in print. If they send me music, I'll make sure they are featured on
my show and other radio shows.John Edwards

SIBONGILE
KHUMALO
 On
January 23, I had the pleasure of attending the
concert of Hugh Masekela and the Chissa All-Star
Touring Party in Fort Lauderdale. There, I met
the extraordinary South African Diva Sibongile Khumalo who
sang up a storm at the Broward Center for the
Performing Arts. I'm hoping she'll record my
song A Woman Knows. Read
about her in my article in the
SOUTH FLORIDA TIMES.

DIVA JC UPDATE
On
January 18, 2008, Joan Cartwright was laid off
from her job as Music teacher due to "low
enrollment." As always, she's back to being a
Musician looking for a gig! Her life is in the
hands of her
Mighty I
AM Presence.
On
January 30, Joan taught a class on Women
Writers at Florida
International University for her friend,
Dr. Carole Boyce-Davies. The class must have been a great
success because it ran from 5:00 to 7:40
p.m. and at 8:00 p.m. Joan and the students
were still in discussion!
