The first pancocojams post was published on August 29, 2011. That post was about Black "downhome" [Southern] church singing. I deleted that post in 2021 and replaced it with another post on that same subject.

The earliest remaining pancocojams post is entitled "The Original Meaning of The Song That Became "Sea Lion Woman" http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2011/08/original-meaning-of-song-that-became.html, published August 30, 2011. The total # of page views for that post as of December 30, 2024 is 17,220.

EXPLANATION FOR THE BLOG NAME "PANCOCOJAMS"
"Pancocojams" is an expansion of the title that I coined* for my previous (now inactive) cultural website- "cocojams".

When I coined the word "pancocojams", I gave it the meaning "Black cultures around the world".

"pan" = worldwide

"coco" = chocolate (= Black people)

"jams" = music (expanded meaning - "cultures")

My "cocojams" cultural blog was launched in 2001 and voluntarily deactivated in 2014.

*It wasn't until some years after I "coined" the word "cocojams" that I found out that it was a previously existing word.
