ghost of miles Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 I meant to post this thread several weeks ago; in light of recent events, I think it's high time I did so. Many of you are aware of the radio program I launched last summer, and I'm now doing a second one (an already-existing program that I inherited). I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for the insights, knowledge, information, commentary, and fun that you provide on a daily basis; my programs have benefitted innumerable times from mention of an album here or a piece there that I had not known of. A number of you have also generously provided me with material that I didn't have or couldn't easily get in time for a taping (Dan Gould, Late, Chuck Nessa, and others--thanks again). I try to mention Organissimo from time to time during Night Lights and have a link to it on the website. In any case, the collective love of jazz here only enhances the love that I myself feel for the music and those who play it and create it--and ultimately, I truly believe that love of jazz makes one somewhat more likely to love one's fellow humanity. Someone once asked me what my ideal jazz radio program would be, and I said, "One that changed the world... one that caused anybody who heard it to feel, just a little more or a lot more, their connection to everyone around them." That includes those who came before us and those who'll come after us. This board is not my family; it is not my wife; but it is a community of friendships that often reach across boundaries of ideology and taste, and it is not something that I take or treat lightly. So please know that you have my gratitude and my thanks. You are special folks. Quote
Big Al Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Well if it weren't for the fact that you have a HECKUVA show on the air, and the fact that you could give lessons on insightfulness to some other big-name jazz deejays..... you, my friend, have earned every accolade! Plus, you sound like YOU'RE having a fun time as well!!!! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 I love your show. It's like a jazz history course. If I knew someone interested in learning about jazz, I'd send them the link to your show archives. Thank you! Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Nice post from a great fellow! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Ah, he's just another small headed Hoosier. So, he's got a show. Big Deal. Thanks for a fine post and thanks for the intelligent selections. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Hoosier What do they call people from Iowa, Chuck? Just curious... Quote
sidewinder Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 (edited) I've just discovered the show. Wonderful music selections. 'Destination Out' with Moncur and McLean is on as I write ( ). Great work !! Edited March 20, 2005 by sidewinder Quote
jazzbo Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Well, I don't listen to radio, but I appreciate what you do. And you're welcome. Quote
JSngry Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 One request, though. When I first started looking to listen to the show live, I was under the ignuntazz assumtption that Indiana was in the Central Time Zone. Needless to say, I got the experiential experience of "Tune in at this same time next week, and you'll hear the end of the show again".... So, maybe tag a "EST/EDT" designator on your signature?
