How you can support
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING TT MUSIC LIBRARY.
Thank you for having the ambition to support the TRINIDAD & TOBAGO MUSIC LIBRARY, a virtual music archive and the music blog JUKEBOX TT. It is amazing, that you see the value and sense of this project.
With your support, you allow me to put as much time as possible into researching (on- and offline), writing articles, and promoting the page. As you can see, the platform is following the highest standards of web design and programming, with the approach of modern and easy usability. And there are also even better plug-ins that can be installed to upgrade your experience. With your support, you are allowing more languages to be added to the translation plug-in, so people of different ethnicity will be able to understand the content. My next goal is to create a podcast matching the content and releases of music profiles.
