U.S. Embassy donates Joan's books to schools
During my stay in Kingston, Jamaica, where I performed for the U.S. Embassy's Blues on the Green Concert on February 26, 2010, I visited two primary schools: Linstead and Windwood Road, where I shared my books with several students ages 10-14. They sang songs from my book SONGS FOR MY CHILDREN, specifically, "Butterfly" and "Funky Monkey". I shared the stories of AMAZING MUSICWOMEN and the advice and guidance from my book SO, YOU WANT TO BE A SINGER? A manual for up-and-coming Divas, composers and musicians.
The U.S. Embassy purchased 16 of each book for a total of 48 books to donate to the two schools (8 each). This is such an honor for me and the music teacher at Windward Road Primary told me that she really appreciated my talking with the students about the business of music. She said she emphasized the business side of music and my talk was confirmation of what she's been instilling in the students.
The concert was a blast. I performed with the Maurice Gordon Quartet and the Blues was just wonderful as the audience sang along with me to their delight and to mine, "Oh, Baby!" See photos at: www.joancartwright.com
I enjoyed the four days I spent on this island in the sun. The people were very friendly and the embassy staff took care of me, calling me "Diva" at every turn!
I was a guest on three radio shows with Diane Thomas (KOOL.FM), Michael Anthony Cuff (Power 106 FM) and Allan Magnus and Paula Ann Porter (RJR). Then, I was on TV with hosts Neville Bell and Simon Crosskill on the morning television show "Smile, Jamaica" and "CVM at Sunrise" with Miss Jamaica, who had attended one of our concerts in Lauderhill, Florida, in 2009. What a coincidence!
Many thanks to Angella Harvey and Fern Whyte of the U.S. Embassy for this extraordinary experience!

Congratulations! Go Diva - Go Diva - Go Diva!!! -- Raining Deer, Author

Hello Joan, I am soooo happy for you. I pray that you will be happy and prosperous in your new career. May God shower his many blessings upon you always. Love and Kisses, Sandra Kaye
HOW WONDERFUL! Joan, you taught me one of the biggest lessons when we were in Atlanta. It was this:
You played a beautiful piece on your piano and said absolutely nothing as you just flowed with the beautiful sounds. We were very impressed with the music and made it a point to share with you how beautiful it was - While you were playing. Yet it was these words that made a lasting impact (Paraphrasing):
I just played my life for you, and you talked through it. The lesson learned was this, no matter how impressed you may be with one's work, and how many accolades you give, the most impressive to the one sharing is your undivided attention and your ability to listen.
You are a wonderful teacher, Joan, and may Almighty God bless you with much success! Thank you for imparting your God given wisdom. Have a great day! -- Sister Kendra
Im so happy for you, good luck on your adventure and have fun! -- Michael J. Serrano
Hi Joan, Congrats and best wishes for a successful new career. Ginny
