PLEASE SUPPORT TUXEDO JUNCTION AND THE PALOMAR
It has been nearly ten years since I launched Tuxedo Junction in October 2000. It has gradually grown into one of the most popular big band web sites on the Internet. You can enjoy a large variety of big band music on Tuxedo Junction from the 1930's right through today. There are also plenty of articles about the big bands on Tuxedo Junction, and I'll be adding many more over the summer months.
My other site is The Palomar, a big band blog where members frequently post entries about a wide variety of big band topics. The Palomar will celebrate its third anniversary in July. You'll find more than 300 entries, a remarkable accomplishment, thanks to the imaginative contributions of our Palomar members.
Maintaining these sites has it costs: web hosting (Yahoo! Small Business Web Hosting), high-speed Internet service (Time Warner), purchasing big band CD's and often MP3 files (Amazon), conversion software (Nero), web design software (Dreamweaver), photo software (Photo Impact X3), file transfer software (Cute FTP), and so on.
I do not charge an annual membership fee for visitors to enjoy Tuxedo Junction or The Palomar, as some big band sites do. Instead, I ask visitors to make a donation to keep my sites online. We are all pressed for money in these difficult economic times, but working together, supporting each other, we can keep the sounds of the big bands, the Swing Era, alive on my two sites.
You'll find yellow "Donate" button links to PayPal at the top of almost every page on Tuxedo Junction, including this one, and on The Palomar's main page.
I suggest a minimum donation of $10.00 (U.S.), but please donate more if you can.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Cordially,
George Spink
