The Soul Connection ~~ three and terrific!


Taylor Hicks has the best fan e’zine in all of fandom!

Congratulations to The Soul Connection for three years of publishing the best fan e’zine on the net… or anywhere!

I am old fashioned, so for three years I have printed out The Soul Connection in color and turned real pages as I read cover to cover. Every printed issue is in a folder. They are a touchable reminder of three years of music, concerts, excitement, and changes. They are a gift of memories from TSC that I treasure and look forward to adding to every month.

Although every issue of TSC is a highly professional edition, I think that its most endearing quality is not on its pages. The neatest thing about TSC is the group of people who produce it. I don’t think they will mind if I call them “fan girls” because I mean that in the best sense of the word. They have been in the concert lines from the East Coast to the West Coast to the Gulf Coast. They are as excited as anyone I have ever met to see Taylor Hicks in concert. It has been my privilege and joy to be in some of those lines with them.

It is that spirit that makes TSC more than a highly professional publication. That makes it a vibrant celebration among fans sparked and led by Connie and her editors.

Thank you, Soul Connection, for being fans first and for sharing your enthusiasm and talents with us. We will be there for another three years—reading The Soul Connection and joining you in the concert lines.

The journey goes on. Taylor and The Soul Connection make it fun and memorable.

We owe you…

Don't be mad- I'm sincerely trying to educate myself. What is this? I've never heard of it.

Don't forget, I hopped onboard the online train AFTER AI, sometime around the time his first CD came out. I've never really been in the loop.

Sounds like a lot of work. I give these women a lot of credit.

caryl,

For the past 3 years, a group of women have 'professionally' been publishing an ezine called THE SOUL CONNECTION. It contains the who, what, when , where and how's concerning Taylor and his projects. It also personalizes The Soul Patrol as it highlights individuals, boards, projects , blogs etc. It asks questions, (printing the SP responses) provides Taylor trivia and photographs.

All the issues can be downloads and printed in hardcopy.

I do hope this helps. It is well worth getting copies as an adjunct to other archived Taylor memorabilia.

Thank you all so very much. Part of what makes doing The Soul Connection so much fun is meeting Taylor's fans wherever we go. The rest of it is working together in support of Taylor's fans and his musical journey.

We have so much fun working with each other under the guidance of our wonderful editor/publisher, Connie.

The ezine is free to Taylor and his fans. Just send your email to me at thesoulconnection@yahoo.com

I'm the only staff member home today, as everyone is enroute to here to go to Biloxi for the concert on Friday.

Hope to see you there and thanks again.

Linda

Caryl, we couldn't be mad at you for wanting to know about Taylor's e'zine! I hope you will go to the link at thesoulconnection@yahoo.com as Linda suggested and subscribe. Every issue will come in your email.

Thanks, Linda, for everything all of you do for Taylor and fans. Have a great time in Biloxi! Take pictures!
