Flowers, Music, Art and Rock Stars
(or how I met ‘My Guys’)

My name is Rosemarie, I am 45 years old and live in Barnsley, South Yorkshire UK
I am just an ordinary person who has a rather exciting hobby , I design web sites for singers and comedians.
 
I also paint with wax (encaustic art) and run 3 card making groups on yahoo with thousands of members from all around the world.
 
I have a tea-bag folding website , and was looking for photographs of flowers to use in the designs for my site when I came across Ed Rambeau who had posted a few albums on webshots full of flowers.
 
I contacted him and asked if I could use his photographs and right from that initial contact Ed was lovely, polite and very helpful.
 
Whilst looking around his webshots albums I noticed some CD covers and asked him about them he told me that he was a singer and sang on cruise ships , he had also been in the USA Charts in 1965 with Concrete & Clay and had written songs for a number of artists.

I purchased ‘The Best of The Past’ from him and he sent me ‘The Season of The Heart’ as a present because it was coming up for Christmas.
 
When these CD’s arrived I was so taken aback by his singing that I asked him if he wanted a website, I am not sure why I did, because I had never written a proper web site before.

That was in November 2002 , the website was designed in a matter of days and on 5th December 2002 the website was launched, I have worked with Ed for just over 5 years and plan to take a trip to New York soon to meet him.
 
My work dose not stop with just the website , I then found and contacted tons of artists regarding web links for Ed, one of the people I contacted was Diane Reny who had a big hit with a song that Ed had co-written called ‘Navy Blue’ and I managed to put them back in touch with each other after 40 years.
 
I also joined a lot of sixties music groups and signed thousands of guestbooks and wanted to tell the whole world about Ed Rambeau.
 
I have met some very wonderful internet friends over the years by belonging to these internet groups like ‘Spectropop’.
 
Whilst reading through messages on Spectropop in 2003 I read a post by a man called ‘Mark Wirtz’ , I had no idea who he was but I liked his style, so I went to look at his web site and sent him an e-mail, Mark liked my painting and we soon because friends , I sent him a Christmas Card which I had painted and he let me download his unfinished CD ‘Love is Eggshaped’ , but we lost touch.
 
In September 2006 Ed and I joined mySpace to try to further promote his music, I was looking around myspace and found Mark again , After a few conversations with Mark he asked me if I would help him run his mySpace page and his website , I was delighted to be asked.
 
Adam B Wild a youngster from the USA found my mySpace page and asked if I would be his UK agent , of course I was not qualified for that so I just did a web site for him instead.
 
I started a fan club for Mark on Yahoo and it was going really well but Mark wanted it shut down , but I did get the chance to get to know some of Mark’s friends rather well , a DJ and Singer from Spain called John Curtis who had got to know Mark when he did an interview about ‘The Teenage Opera’ , so yes I did a web site for John, and Father and Son Tony & Anthony Rivers who had sung on Mark’s latest CD’s, Tony was in the Castaways and Harmony Grass and was a backing singer for Sir Cliff Richard for many years , after trying for a long time to get Tony to add Mark’s site to his links and helping Tony, Anthony and John Perry (a friend of Tony’s who also sang with Cliff) with their mySpace pages , I took over Tony’s and Anthony’s web sites…. my work expanded.
 
On mySpace I sort of adopted David Stopp, a singer songwriter from London who had posted a message to Mark about a song he had written called ‘Whatever Happened to The Beach Boys’ David Cooke (Snail) & Bylli Crayone, well they posted so many bulletins on myspace that I checked them out and loved their music.

Bylli is a very nice man – into sexual dance music and Snail is a wonderful artist who has a beautiful singing voice.

Groovy Uncle  (who is Glenn Pragnell from the Kraven A’s) and Paul Germana approached me and asked if I would do their sites and I love their voices they are both so very talented.
 
Recently I have been putting together slideshow/videos for ‘My Guys’ on youtube and as a result Kris Ife who co-wrote a lot of songs with Mark and recorded under the name of Judd got in touch with me , I went down to meet Kris who is a lovely man, and I now do his web site as well.
 
The latest is a friend of Mark’s another comedian called Chris Gay , but I have only just started on his web site.

I love them all to bits and conside myself very lucky to be associated with them all.

About the new Music Player list: This time it’s a Smorgasbord of just a few, totally unrelated, unreleased, Popscurities of mine…
Yep, one of them, an unreleased MySpace exclusive, I’M NOT LAZY, I’M JUST SAD, is an — do I dare say it? — an “excerpt” from TEMPO, the COMPLETE Teenage Opera, which I finally finished and recorded in 1997 and have had sitting on the shelf ever since — not too lazy, but lacking incentive or motivation, to release. The other bits are unreleased song demos that are… well, they just are.
I don’t know how long I can keep  it up to post these “oldies,” but it’ll be a while before my brand-new “Cooking For Cannibals” epic is ready for release. So, I guess I’ll keep digging through my draws for stuff that was for most part ignored or overlooked at the time of inception – even by me.
By the way, if you have any requests, lemma know – I’ll see what I can do.
Cheers,
Markie in Savannah, GA, where humor is considered bad manners.
