Jim, I used to love your radio show on riu, man I wondered what you have been doing, besides the reviews in db. So glad to find you here, putting out the same good stuff and educating the people! Right On Jim!

Hi Jim – Wonderful blog; it’s always a “must tab” in my browser. Cd you bring back the downtown shot in your header? It just seems to fit [and summer, regrettably, is over].
Your blog reads, the way jazz is.
How about an RSS feed?
Keep up the great work, and thanks.
Hi Jim –
You probably know this, but this is your RSS feed, for those of us who’d like to follow you in our RSS readers. Tested in Google Reader, and it works:

OK, Jim, it’s about to be summer! You can bring back the summer shot for your blog home page! And thanks for another season of great reportage…
Greetings Jim. So glad I found yer blog. I’ve recently started digitizing well over 100 hours of cassette tapes of ‘Impeach Reagan’, ‘Archimedes Underwear’, ‘Banks Close Pipes Froze and Now I’ve Got a Pimple on My Nose’ and the like. At work I would actually run out to my car, on the hour, to turn over the 2-hour cassette in my little Aiwa radio/recorder. It was/is all worth it. Thanks for all the great jazz and music education over the years.
