Jazz & Blues Florida is bailing out of MySpace and focusing on our own websites and we invite you to come join us there. As Florida's source of info on live jazz and blues we want to stay connected with you, either to post your gigs to our listings if you are a musician, or to let you know what is happening if you are listener. Check out our main site at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com. You know 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. We will be deleting your MySpace connection after we post this. See you on the other side, where the good music is happening!
Charlie
Bom dia !
