My Bonnie lies over the ocean

Last week, on Easter Monday, I asked my girlfriend of 7 1/2 months to marry me and she said yes. Five days later I drove her to Auckland Airport and she departed for a 3-month trip to the American continent.

Stephanie Jones is travelling through the USA to take in the sights and sounds of jazz and gospel music in San Francisco, New Orleans, Texas and beyond. Stephanie has also started her own blog, and has already written two posts all about her visit to a San Francisco gospel church. Easy to read, fun and breezy, perceptive and interesting, Steph's USA Adventure will be a great read for anyone interested in American jazz and gospel culture.

And if you have any jazz or gospel contacts on the American continent do email them to me at ajchesswas@gmail.com, and I will forward them on to Stephanie.
