Our own blog

Hello folks. This is Gianni (as in Peggy & Gianni).
I just got the implicit approval of our beloved Steve to hijack his mailing list to and (to quote him) "get in your face" about the new blog Marianne so kindly set up for ALL OF US to use. http://swagettes.blogspot.com/ This site does NOT- repeat: NOT - REPLACE Steve's own ship journal formerly called "The Swagette gazzette" and now re-named "Ship Notes" http://pianomansteve.blogspot.com/search?q= which, incidentally has a couple of interesting recent entries, in case you missed them. The reason why I asked Marianne to set us up with this new Cybertoy, was mainly so that we would not "pollute" Steve's own, more professional website.
Until I got Steve's OK I had been hesitant to publicize the blogspot through his mailing list, now I beg you to help us expand it by adding any names that I might be missing (my list is kind of old). For those who might feel slighted for not having known about this from the very beginning: you can unleash your wrath on me and also blame Marianne, who set this thing up even before the hangover from Dawn's terrific "hurricane party" had completely cleared.You can also blame me for my lack of dexterity with this kind of thing. Do you think I really know how to "invite" people to be authors? think again! (help Marianne!!)
Anyway: besides pirating Steve's idea of a blogsite, I would also like to eventually steal Dawn's name for the Swagman and eventually apply it to our blog site, with a minor variation: I was thinking of naming it "the cyber-Sandbox ". Anybody seconds the idea? Anybody has a better one?
Please keep in mind that if you do not feel confident enough using the blog, I'll be more than willing to help you out to the extend of my limited capabilities. Past that, I am quite sure that Marianne will be willing to help with her much stronger expertise.
Why not starting by visiting and throwing in your comments to what's already there? I am sure you will find that easy enough. Above all: please keeep in mind that this is NOT Gianni's or Marianne's site. It is FOR and BY the Swaggettes and Swagoonies. Old, new and yet to come. Nothing will replace one good night at the Swagman and even the various palliative venues and scattered Steve gigs are hard to forget,and replace, but ...hey this can be fun too if we all join in.Take it from a professional "hummer": as long as Steve is within earshoti it will be fun!And, as you can see from visiting the blog, he's right in there with us. Just using his fingers on an altogether different keyboard, that's all. Peace.
