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.

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!!!! :tup

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?

This was a nice post and one that I enjoyed reading.

I am glad that I have got to know you a little.
