I joined the local Country Music Club back in 1982, was silly enough to be talked into having a few goes on stage in the charity concerts they organised, but soon realised that I wasn’t comfortable enough to be “up there†so just went along to enjoy the music and friendships.
Eventually I met up with and got to know some of the independent artists and decided that I had small ways of helping them to get more recognition and therefore exposure…. so I spent some time observing the backgrounds of the industry and the politics of it all and set out turn my talents towards helping the independents.
I have also done quite a bit of travelling, and in the process of that I have had the opportunity to “see how the other half live†and to promote country music and the artists.
By nature I am a shy person, but in 2005 I decided that I could help “my independents†more if I became a presenter, so I did my presenter’s course at 2 Way FM 103.9 and the first program I found myself with was Sunday Breakfast, but then there was a vacancy in the Friday Country time slot, so I now do Joy’s Country Jukebox from 12.00 midday to 2.00pm on Friday. I have been gathering many faithful listeners along the way.
Another “pet†hobby that I have is computers, and I became aware that I could help even more if I had my own webpage and www.joysmusicworld.com is the result. I hope it helps to do what it was originally intended to do.
