Your comments light up my life! Thank you so much.
July 8, 2009 Joan, I am soooo glad I met you. You are indeed an inspiration to me. I am trying to follow your example and you have me huffing and puffing to keep up... but I love it.:-))) We are on the cutting edge for OUR jazz because most of our fellow traditionalists are not hip to the cyber-power at our fingertips. I just loaded 14 originals of mine on ReverbNation. These are synthesized versions where I am playing all the parts. I made these tracks between 1989 and 1991. Please feel free to use them and give me an opinion of them. Each of them has a lyric as well. Love, Nelson June 8, 2009 You are awesome and I am so glad we met. Have a fantastic day and I look forward to us talking again soon. I will try to catch the radio show as well. I want to learn how to do that. You are a gutsy woman with style and I am honored to be in your presence and learn from you. Lydia Harris The Entrepreneurs Garden April 5, 2009 Have a great time in Houston. Sell tons of books Ms. Diva JC!

SK July 22, 2008 Joan, I found your autobiography to be fascinating and engrossing with an impressive photo collection of musicians who have touched your life. I am so proud of you for what you've done with your life since we first met 3 decades ago. I especially admire your discipline in doing the hard work that has resulted in publishing an important resource book--specifically, your process of becoming the consummate singer/entertainer that you are--generally, it's a value as a guide for how aspiring singers can survive and succeed in the music business. Mari Jo Johnson, President July 17, 2008 Received your package 2 days ago and have already read a good portion of your book (I learned to speed read years ago). Had no idea that it is an autobiography! Many adjectives of praise come to mind but suffice to say, it is fascinating and should count for your Ph.D. Job well done!! Love and Light. July 10, 2008 Joan, It is a blessing to have you as a friend. And we have never even met face to face. Ha ha ha. God is great! Love, Nelson June 29, 2008 You are magic! Wow!!!

I'll try to call you soon. Congratulations, Willie Williams January 7, 2008 Wow! There is so much knowledge being given in this book. It reminds me of a music textbook. I'm finding it very informative and it's nice to have a lot of the pictures that I did not get from our trips. Aretta Davis, Washington, D.C. July 5, 2007 Joan's book is entertaining from beginning to end. I could feel the warmth of her family history and hear her singing in the songs she wrote. I could hear her voice singing "A Woman Knows". I must say Joan could not have done better, for it's her, all the way. I applaud Joan and wish her luck in all her travels on this earth, for we only pass this way once. Sheryl West, Tampa, FL July 6, 2007 I have known Joan Cartwright for over 25 years. When she told me that her book was finished and was to be published, I could hardly wait to buy it and read it, as I was so proud and excited, too. In Pursuit of a Melody is an insightful journey through the life and musical experiences of Joan Cartwright. She has skillfully painted the pages with an in-depth and detailed pallet of colors that could only be brought forth through her vast experiences. The way in which she has interwoven the titles and lyrics of songs throughout the chapters is just ingenious and, of course, her compositions are diverse and soulful. Joan Cartwright is a mother, performer, singer, traveler and writer of music and books. She has a most wonderful story to tell and share. Sandy Patton, Swiss Jazz School, Berne, Switzerland July 10, 2007 Joan�s book exemplifies the phrase, �Reading can take you on a journey.� You are actually on a whirlwind of traveling and visiting exciting places, engaging in fantastic activities. So many wonderful musicians, singers, talented people have touched Joan�s life .Oh! The pictures tell their own story as they appear full of love of each other and of their professions. The family pictures display the warmth of loving, devoted people. As you read, you want to read faster to get a glimpse of what is next. Wonderful reading and beautiful pictures! Oshunrire Naomi O.
