cd review
by Norman DarwenThe first four tracks encapsulate Arkansas-born Billy Jones. ...a wicked, raw, live version of Albert King's 'Personal Manager', 'my Hometown', a bleak, stark portrayal of the ghetto set to a busy but laid-back and bluesy musical commentary that epitomizes what some have defined as his "gangsta bluez" (...though it is perhaps even better on 'Ain't Good Lookin'), the rocking, rollicking, down-home, and subtly Howling Wolf inflected 'Blues Comes Callin'' and the bluesy/ reggae…See More

I'm really glad we might be able to establish some support - and that we maybe can work out an opportunity to help at least a little bit.
I suggest to post and discuss inside a Sawubona Bloggroup I created - I made it a closed group with members by invitation, so we will be able to discuss and say everything we want, and without unwanted readers or spoilers or direct exposure - until we have enough good material to publish.
Thank you so much in advance!

what's your view on Kenya today?
I'm discussing recent issues with Philo, Babu and others, could you be interested to join in?

Would like to participate in the poem for peace festival.. Seems we need invitations and would like to have one...let me know otherwise
You can send it to my email. philonikonya@yahoo.com
thanks. Is it the one in May? I think a friend mentioned it.
wish you all the best,
Philo
I have not met you in literary circles but would like to know of your poems where they can be found and all that. I have not received your official invitation to this poetry festival. I see that you have a site for donations. Please update me. Phlo
thanks for this. Please update me. Philo
Best regards, Dieter
Maybe it's a good idea to contact Dieter to find out if there are common grounds for your festival and this Sawubona project.
If you come to a common point, you could convince Dieter to promote your festival information as a featured blog post on the main page.
(This could save you some time spreading the news :-) )
