I put the following 2 messages in the topic page of "Black Folksingers", but I wanted to make sure that the larger group (esp. Janice from NJ) got to see these notes. Once again, thanks to all. - Hillary Kay

...Oh yeah...I guess I should have clarified things more... its Hillary Kay here...Black Lesbian
American Folksinger, who has gone off and gotten herself hopelessly lost and climbing around in the Deep Blues with only a National Resonator guitar for a paddle... never to come up for air...ohhh yeahhh.ÊÊÊI am one half of the Acoustic Blues duo WILDSANG, which employs the time honored blues collaboration of Guitar/Harmonica/Voice. My partner is Kate Freeman, an amazing Harp player in her own right.
Our latest CD SKY DIRT SPEAK OUT TRUTH is available through CD BABY.

In the effort to name Black Folk Singers, with the awareness that Folk Music is Music Made By The Folks... Ben Harper, Otis Taylor, Robert Nesta Marley, Michael Franti of Spearhead
Anyway you Mud Cats... good to make contact and thanks for the nod my way.
Hope to hear from you. Peace, Hillary Kay of WILDSANG

WILDSANG,

Please consider joining Mudcat.

And please let others know about this discussion forum.

It seem that I may be the only African American who regularly posts here and I can't understand why that may be so.

I believe having more African Americans as members and/or Guests would add to the richness of this online community.


Thanks,

Ms. Azizi
