[JPL] New Fusion Web Ring

[jazzrockworld]

I've posted this notice elsewhere on the Internet and thought it best to be
the one to bring it to your attention. If this doesn't get me permanently
banned from the JPL I don't know what will...
 
Hi folks,
 
I wanted to post the news that I've created a new Web Ring called "Jam
Fusion". The name is not
as important as where it's placed in the Web Ring directory.
Typically Fusion, Jazz Rock, and the namesake variations are all
located within the Jazz directory. In fact, the Jazz Fusion ring is
in Home > Music > For Musicians > Jazz. Talk about hard to find.
 
The new Jam Fusion Ring is in the Home > Music > Genres directory,
thus making it much more visible. With enough members it may generate
a place in the Genres Sub-directory list visible on the main Genre
page.
 
My web stats at Jazz Rock World indicate that the Jazz Fusion Web
Ring is among the top 10 referring web pages. The point is that while
it may sound ridiculous or a waste of time to create this new ring,
the Internet has proven to be a surprising place where almost
anything is possible. Thus, creating a new Web Ring in the main
Genres directory has potential that can't be calculated by any
standard that would prove it to be fruitless.
 
If you're interested in taking Fusion music a pro-active step away from
the myopic folks running Jazz right into the Cryo Tank at the music
museum [that don't even recognize Fusion], here's an opportunity that
never existed until now.
 
The main hub page is located at:

On the main Jam Fusion hub page, click on "Join This Ring" and follow
the prompts. No, it's not easy and will take some time - so be
prepared to give the process your full attention for about 15 - 30
minutes. (That's a fair warning, eh?)

The future is knocking, can you hear it?
 
All the best and thanks,

P.S. to the members of the JPL:
 
If you find this post offensive and a slap in the face or stab in the back,
remember one thing, if you point your finger at someone, there's three
fingers pointing back at you.  You all know me to be disrespectful and less
than graceful in my posts (which generally kill threads), however, that
doesn't make my efforts or concepts invalid. The fact that I've taken a
tangible step [which may or may not prove to be a success] toward the future
is noteworthy. With the daily concerns of running a Jazz Radio station on
your plates, I'm sure it's nearly impossible to respect my perspective or
comments. That doesn't change the fact that the "music business" no longer
has the infrastructure to support Jazz. That pisses me off and I'm doing
something about it. However, since the majority of the traditional Jazz
community has little or no respect for Fusion, it's my opinion that I and
other Fusion fans are allowed the same disrespect.  In other words - banning
me from the JPL will only serve to prove my point.
