And now a brief chat with a recent supporter, Charles R.

Thanks for the support, Charles! You are very welcome. Actually it’s mostly a matter of guilt, because I have been enjoying the site for a few years now.

How did you come to start? You ran across my photographs in 2013 and featured them in a gallery. It has recently been published as a book, House Music by Dewi Lewis Publishing. Finally!

Wow, congratulations! We're really glad to hear it. I slowly got hooked on TMN after bookmarking it when the photo feature came out. Now I check it almost every day. It’s very eclectic but still has a clear point of view. Thanks for doing it.

OUR GREAT THANKS go to Charles and to ALL of our supporters. If you haven't already, please consider becoming a Sustaining Member or making a one-time donation. 👏 👏 👏
