WELCOME! to the first issue of LUSOBEAT™. I hope that you will enjoy the page and hopefully many more as we progress together. The concept is simple a place were you can learn about the musical talents in our LUSO community. I hope that you find LUSOBEAT™ entertaining and informational. I ask that you participate just by viewing the page, joining the mailing list, win some merchandise, take the polls and above all send me your comments good and bad. (Just make sure it’s constructive!) This will be a 3 month pilot and if this “fills a need” then hopefully I’ll be around for a few more issues. I thank you in advance just for taking the time to visit and for your future support and OH YEAH VISIT US WEEKLY! ;-)
