We're ardent fans (and performers) of Hot Club and Swing music, with wide and tremendously varied interests in other areas--musical and otherwise. We now host the beginnings of a page about the internationally known jazz group Pendulum. We like hot violin solos, cool jazz vocals, & tight vocal harmony.

We take great pleasure in providing you with the Web's most comprehensive collection of links to other Hot Club and Swing sites. In case you're interested in other kinds of music, we have information and links on several kinds.

We even have a page or two about volleyball. We've added something about amateur radio, with a whole new page coming soon. Do we have links and information concerning Environmental issues? You bet!. Politics? One of these days--come back frequently to see what we've added. We collect quotations and have compiled a page of some of our favourites to share. Do you like poetry ? You'll find a couple of pages of poems and some commentary. There's a page especially for those who respect rational thought and thinking. We've also compiled a few pages to tell you about our home in beautiful, nuclear-free New Zealand and a page of warnings and advice to New Zealand consumers.

Amateur Radio -- a fun and exciting hobby

Providing countless hours of pleasure to people of all ages and cultures around the globe, ham radio is made up of a huge community of individuals. Like any large community, radio amateurs share a tremendous diversity of interests. For some, ham radio is all about communicating with others in faraway (or not so faraway) places; for others, it's all about electronics and technical skills; for others, ham radio is a way of serving their local communities by providing emergency communications or search and rescue services. The list goes on and on. Here are some links where you can learn more about amateur radio.
