A Personal Statement About Jana Mashonee From Ralph Thomas
As many of you know, Barbara and I have always been passionate about Native Americans and Native American Culture and you have often heard me remark that Barbara is the best looking woman who is part Cherokee! Well folks we have developed a relationship with the people at Miss Molly Records who has a rising star that is a singer/songwriter and actress who is Native American from the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. Her name is Jana Mashonee. Jana has had a successful singing career in the Indian Music market and is now considered one of the top performers in that market. She is now breaking out of the Indian Music Market and going mainstream and we need your help and support to take Jana all the way to the top and watch music history made. This will be the first time in the history of music that a Native American makes it all the way. Please come and join us in this exciting trip to the stars by helping Jana. You can do that by stopping in at her web site and buying her CDs and songs as well as join her fan club and Facebook page. Come and join us in this great journey because Jana my friends is going all the way to the top! -Ralph
