Dear Readers,
Welcome to the SECOND ANNIVERSARY ISSUE
of ACCESS to the MUSIC ZONE!! We hope you like our new look and
new features, and that it was worth the wait for this GIANT issue!!
With two years under our belt, we're still going strong. We're
growing every single week, still with the mission of bringing
you the best music and concert reviews on the Net. Photos too!
We're glad you stopped by, and hope you enjoy what took us two
months to put together. I have a few comments I'd like to share
with you, but this issue is about the music!
First, and foremost, I'd like to thank
all of you who took the time to read my editorial in the July
issue, and to write to me with condolences and your own experiences
of music touching your life. From the responses I received, it's
pretty obvious we all have music as a big part of our lives,
and we have memories attached to a lot of songs.
Secondly, good, bad or indifferent, I'm receiving a lot more
reader mail every month, and I appreciate the fact that you're
not afraid to express your opinions or disagree with the reviews
we publish. We get lots of glowing letters about AMZ, but we
also get everything from someone else's opinion on a particular
album, to advice that we're not reviewing enough of certain kinds
of music. There will never be a time when every reader agrees
with every review we publish, and we cover as much of each genre
as is physically possible in any given month. But, we really
appreciate your comments, so please, keep them coming!
Because we have such a HUGE issue this month, I'll keep this
brief. We've been working as fast as we can to get everything
ready, but this issue has the most reviews we've ever run in
the history of the magazine! Between Concerts, the Features,
our Debuts, New Releases, Soundtracks, R&B/Urban, Country,
Jazz, World and Short Takes, we're covering close to 150 artists!
We had a great combined July/August issue in 1997, when we launched
our own domain, but it was tiny compared to this year. AMZ is
DEFINITELY growing by leaps and bounds, thanks to all of you.
Thanks for your patience, keep tuning in, and keep those letters
coming. Without you, we wouldn't be the fastest growing Music
E-zine on the Net!
Please send your comments, questions, or anything else you can
think of to ACCESS to the MUSIC ZONE at marellg@music-reviewer.com
See You In Cyber Space!
