[Harp-L] SPAH Website

[MANFRED WEWERS <mwewers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I apologize for my previous posting on this subject. There were some formatting problems which I hope have now been rectified. If it works, I'll post the solution, as itÂmay also be of interest to others.
Â
I would also like to clarify the current status of the SPAH website. I am not a website professional. My function is to find content for the website; hence, my following requestÂto the harmonica community at large to provide content. Three Stone Media's Kent Allen, the Webmaster, however is a professional with web experience.

This is the repost:

Since beginning my new role as SPAH Web Content Manager, I have been asked a number of times, âWhat kind of content are you seeking?âÂ

SPAH's objectives are to cultivate, develop, improve, foster, promote, preserve and advance the harmonica and harmonica playing. SPAH respects the colorful past of the harmonica, while advancing its acceptance as a bonafide musical instrument. Among the membership, which hails from the far reaches of the globe, are individuals and entire families, accomplished musicians as well as beginners, the young and the senior citizen. Many of the members have played or do play the harmonica professionally. All styles of music and all types of harmonicas are welcome. In other words, SPAH is very inclusive.

The SPAH Website was created to support SPAHâs objectives and its membership, and to support harmonica musicians and harmonica vendors throughout the entire harmonica community. We will do this by communicating about our organization, other harmonica organizations, events, websites and other information about harmonicas, harmonica players and harmonica music. Thatâs a lot of ground to cover, so input from the SPAH membership and the harmonica community is very important. I thank those who have already posted comments and suggestions, or offered to help. As has been pointed out, there is still work to do.

If you have a yearning to write articles, rather than just providing information for the SPAH Webpage or by the way, for Harmonica Happenings, the choice of the subject matter is very broad. Write about your harmonica passion whether it is educational, fictional, historical, musical, philosophical, practical, technical or theoretical. Both serious and not so serious articles are accepted. Please do provide and acknowledge sources, including for photos, where necessary and whenever possible.Â
Â
If you have something to share with the harmonica community, SPAHâs website can provide that opportunity.
