It's been twelve years since, here, on this page, I announced That's Not My Father by Marilyn McIntyre. Every day people ask a search engine for dying father poem and this poem ranks high. I announce it again at the death of my mother, Maria Gomez Jackson Taggart (1926-2011). The poem makes me cry but it has also provided comfort for thousands since 1998. Now it brings comfort to me. Thank you again Marilyn.. Here is some Not so famous lost art.. Lately I have been publishing lyrics from my songs as poems. Lyrics tend to repeat phrases people ask for in search engines. Some poems go viral. Some mp3 recordings tend to go a little viral too. Here is a new rhyming poem derived from our most viral downloaded recording, Baby I Love You . It started out as Everybody is Talking and is another search engine hit! We get good traffic to the song too. Many sites are streaming free music from us, about 500 full downloads a day. These songs are doing quite well. There is a growing trend for our mp3 urls to be embedded in peoples phones. Every time they listen it's a download from us. This trend is growing fast.. The trend to streaming music content is evident in our logs. Someday you won't actually download the music. It will be streamed by the content provider every time you play the song. Here is a new song He Really Loves That Car or Maybe there is a better life without cable Drop Out, Tune Out Turn off by Phil Coyote. Here is a new poem by Summer Breeze I'm Gonna Miss You When I'm Gone. This is a cool pic. Here is a new gallery, Gallery Eighteen, More Abstract Shapes in Art Ah someone new. Here are five poems by Richard Jay Shelton. We now have Thinking of You Here is our first Alzheimer's Poem and two more including Holding On by Linda Straub. We expect more from everywhere.
