[OutVoice] Queer Music Heritage website has a new West Wing, sort of...

Well, when you upload an additional 140 pages...

Here's what happened. This month's edition of QMH is in celebration of "Those 
Singing Drag Queens." A historical, and I hope entertaining, look at the Drag 
Artists in our history who really sang. But you know me, I could not leave it 
alone and just do a hour show to air in Houston. 

For my "internet version" I included everything I think deserves it, and 
ended up with 3 hours worth. It covers from 1922 through to the mid-80's, and 
that's Part 1. Next month I'll finish the job and do the last twenty years. Oh, 
and Part 1 includes a special interview with Atlanta's drag diva, Diamond Lil. 
She started before Stonewall and like any diva, has a lot to say...:)

And, what about the new 140 pages? Well, I decided my site needed to document 
the history of all recordings of this special genre, so I set up a Drag 
Artist Discography, and gee, it turned into a lot of pages, with scans of album and 
CD covers and photos of the artists, whether they sang or just did comedy. 
You can visit that section, and one way to get there is with a link from my 
March show, start here...
