Help us make our (yes, it's mine and yours) little tribute to Teena on the web a cool thing. Become a content contributor. Write behindthegroove@apexmail.com and let me know how or if you can help.

What We Can Use

We need the following:

Someone willing to collect news for a news section
Photos and scans of Teena from magazine articles, singles, live concerts, etc.

Please write before you make a contribution in the unlikely event that I may not be able to use it.
