Saligao netters have discussed a lot abt Joanne Marie De Mello and  her 
achievments at this young age. She deserves all the praise showered on her on 
this net group. 

I have closely known Joanne  from the time she was a toddler and followed her 
success in music (Western Classical) at every stage. Several years ago 
(precisely December 2001) I had seen her give a vocal recital at the 
'Swarangan'   at the Kala Academy Black Box for a select audience. My little 
music sense told me Joanne had 'it' in her to make it big someday in the world 
of Western classical music. Thereafter, writing about Joanne in the TOI (Goa 
Plus) edition  I had summed up my article with : 

Quote < 'For Joanne this is only the  begining. The best is yet to come. This  
is one lass  destined to go places in the near future if  she lets endeavour 
take her through  and makes the big wide world her stage'> Unquote

I am glad Joanne has done just that and she has cornered glory and admiration 
not only in Goa and India, but at some of the best Music venues in 
Europe....and her success story continues.   

The below post brings to light yet another young and promising talent Genevieve 
D'Costa from the village. 

No doubt many more congratulatory messages addressed to her will flood the net 
very soon. 

I would however make a humble suggestion that their efforts should not go in 
vain. Any Saligao based Club/Institution/Parish Youth Association or any 
organisation should come forward and felicitate these two youngsters for the 
glory they have brought/bringing to their village and State as a whole.

No doubt Joanne may not be originally hailing from Saligao, but she certainly 
has close links to the village for having studied in LCHS and also for her 
maternal and paternal aunts both married in Saligao.

Children's Day (14th November) is not far off...perhaps this could be an 
appropriate day to recognise their contribution to society in two different 
fields of human endeavour. If not 14th Nov, then 26th Nov could also be 
appropriate day being our feast day. 

Recognition and appreciation could go a long way in encouraging these 
youngsters rather than merely paying tributes in cyberspace.

Is someone listening out there? 

Viva Saligao!!

I felt really sorry for Joannne when I heard her sing. Music poorly recorded is 
like exhibitiFng a painting in flickering light. A degree of planning was 
required and possibly a couple ofindependently placed microphones going through 
a 'mixer' (monitored for balance and tone), rather than through the church 
system.

NO harm I suppose, in claiming to be a cousin of a young and emerging-ly famous 
Artist Joanne D'Mello, is it ?
Feels good really. 
Dilip,my friend,are you listening in ?
we both first saw the clip together and did not know who she was ;)
Being an excellent musician himself his first comment was... 'Santa Maria !! 
What a beautiful voice.....and .What a Horrible Sound System we have in our 
World famous Church.
and surely the sound in the video clipping wasnt lying.
Perhaps someone should start rallying around to collect funds for a great real 
good Sound System.
or maybe its not bad after all for all the regular proceedings?.

In The Video Clip at first sight Joanne certainly seems like a kin of Sabrina 
D''Mello or the grande Bobo famille.

Joe D'Mello and self are paternal second Cousins. His Sisters are Eliza and 
Lucy, both ex LCHS pupils. Eliza is married to Carlos my neighbour in 
Muddavadi. 
Boy! much time has flown by and so fast. Small babies have grown into great 
adults already during our absence from our homeland..

Joe andJeanne live in their own new one storey Bungalow bang opposite their 
Parents house,situated on the Sangolda CHOG-M highway, on the same side but a 
little ahead of Barbara Pereira's House(the Late Ex Sapranch of Sangolda).

Attagirl Joanne ! keep it up !! Thanks to Saligaonet too You will continue to 
make a lot of people proud of you.
