Preface to why I am using this awesome video:
Those of you who have read any of my old blogs know that I enjoy internet marketing - actually, what I enjoy most is the copywriting - I love writing, and always have. You probably already know that I market wonderful vacation memberships through my www.FineResortVacation.com website.
And, besides writing, I have an absolute passion for singing - and have an especially deep love for harmony and harmonizing - which is possibly why peace and harmony are keystones of my life in general.
So, that said, I got to thinking today about a very cool YouTube video one of my dear friends sent me, called "Perpetuum Jazzile - Africa" which is an absolutely astonishing a capella rendition of the old song "Africa," originally sung by Toto. I'm adding it here to my blog post so you can enjoy it too. It is far too incredible for me to attempt to describe this performance. Just watch it for yourself! (To see the video: Scroll down to the bottom of this post - and you'll need to let it run for about 15 seconds before you'll hear any sound - the first sounds are very soft.)
Anyway, after watching this unbelievable performance (and wishing I could be part of their troupe), I began thinking about how I could use stuff like this video in bringing people to my website. I thought about how I might use the "Perpetuum Jazzile - Africa" example because the travel memberships that I sell have gorgeous vacation properties in Africa as well (e.g. Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Egypt, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South Africa).
I just looked at a few of the resorts - and they are wonderful. As I reviewed the information about where some of them are located, I was thrilled - and enlightened. I had not known that such incredible beauty exists. While I am aware that there are many African nations struggling with challenges and difficulties, I am now aware that there is great beauty and joy there as well.
Ahh.. Alas... For one in the USA whose pockets are of humble depths, it will likely be a while before we can afford to fly to some of these amazing places. Sigh.
Nontheless, there are plenty of people in the world for whom a holiday at one of these beautiful condo resort properties is far closer to home and easy to get to.
So, I thought again about inviting this beautiful "Perpetuum Jazzile - Africa" video into my website and blog as a way of inviting anyone who might be as taken by the beauty of Africa and its potential for a holiday to see what that vast continent has to offer.
Enjoy!
About Me

- I always knew my path would be different from others I knew growing up in suburban New Jersey. I’m not sure what was really expected of me, but I doubt that it included the things I wound up doing! About the only thing that I did according to Hoyle was attend college for a B.A. in English. I know...I know. "What can you do with an English degree? Teach?" Aaghagh! I ran for the hills! Literally! Working in Colorado during the summers, my first husband & I had a blast working at a very cool guest ranch outside Rocky Mountain National Park. We bicycled in New Zealand for about 4-5 months - which led us (1984) to McMurdo Station in Antarctica. Although my first husband and I parted ways, I kept going to "the Ice" as it is fondly referred to. After a few Antarctic summers as a contract worker in McMurdo I “wintered over” – a 12-month period (1990-91) in the old bio lab - long since gone. After what seemed like forever, I embarked on the good ship Entrepreneur, met my wonderful husband, John, who shares my values and passion for just about everything. It's a good life!
