Sounds like a terrific way to spend a Sunday, Steve.

Welcome, John and everyone!

This is a new effort, but we're determined to at least give it a good shot and see what happens. We're encouraged by what we've seen thus far, and thank you for your support and contributions.

Please invite others to join us here in our new digs.

Hey, what's goin' on? Folks are talkin' about jazz and stuff here. So, it may not be dead, after all?

Where's The Preacher?

Thanks for the avatar assists, Lenny.

Another sweet piece of free software is IrfanView. It's very user-friendly ... almost a PhotoShop-Lite.

Thanks for persevering, Mike! Glad you made it ... finally. Growing pains. They're normal and expected. I think that if we all make an effort to say what we like/dislike about recordings and live performances instead of only listing them might be a wise thing to keep a musical spark alive which left...

Welcome, everyone. Glad to see you here. And, thanks for letting us know prior pseudonyms, aliases and nicknames. That helps.

There is still a fair amount of work to do, but Scott got things up and running and we're trying to customize slowly but surely. It's all new, but kind of exciting too.

I think it's safe to say that most, if not all of the posters here, like jazz. I've been a jazz fan for over 50 years.

What brought you here, and who do you enjoy listening to the most?

Once again, as I do most evenings, a wonderful live stream ...

Jason ... calling Jason Rubin.

Come in, please.

Been watching a lot of American Pickers...........sort of. I find it's a great show to have on in the background when I'm on the computer and not really paying attention. I love that show, and have been following it for quite some time. There's some really fine chemistry between the 3 characters an...

You're welcome, Scott. Thanks for your very kind, generous words. I'm glad that you persevered with this project, despite the level of frustration I perceived from you at various times. I raise my glass to you, too. Not only to thank you for making this idea become a reality, but more importantly, f...

I'll start this thread with the 1st post on this topic from Jazz Corner, one I made in 2003. "Sometimes you have to play for a long time to be able to play like yourself." -- Miles Dewey Davis, Jr. "I'll play it first and tell you what it is later." - Miles Davis "I say, 'Pl...

As you can plainly see, my name is Ron, and I'll be hangin' around to see what happens with this new venture.

I'm a romantic, and tireless jazz enthusiast and musician/educator.

Tonight, Burn Notice and Graceland. They aren't perfect, but they're enjoyable ... mostly.

Hi, Valerie. Nice to see you drop by.

Thanks for staying with it, Scott!

This is my 1st post here, testing the uploading of a photo I took a couple of days ago.

These are Rhododendrons in front of our home, which the moose (thankfully) didn't eat this spring.
