I can tell you a bit about myself, as a Tammy Hart(1983- ). First off, "Hart" is a deer, not an internal organ. :) Secondly, I am a musician, but my main profession is web design. boring, I know. I'm also passionate about being a mother and wife.

Ha ha, thank you Tammy! Are you the Tammy Hart in the song?

I did indeed end up finding a bit of information about a Tami Hart about a year after finishing the series. I'm not sure if it's a case of wrong spelling or if there just is no info out there.

While I found it really unfortunate that there were a few people in the song who I could not find information on (even in this age of the internet!), it only reinforced for me the fact that we have to work to preserve the memories of the work of cultural creators who are outside of the mainstream.
