ZydE-Zine On Vacation
After almost 13 years of publishing the ZydE-Zine,
mostly twice, but sometimes three issues a month, I am going to take a vacation and give the ZydE-Zine
a hiatus while I attend to some necessary important personal items that I have been putting aside and a couple
of other projects that I need to begin.
Request, in the interim, that you hold off on any article inputs that are time sensitive -- such as approaching
events. You many continue to furnish articles such as event and music reviews, bios, discussions, personality and
revelations which I can place in a holding queue.
There is about 12 years of back issues (close to 300) still available for reading and research in this archive
section of the ZydE-Zine.
