jazztalk.net

Nearly a year ago, when news of the Jazz Corner Speakeasy forums' impending closure came to light, Scott Dolan approached me to see if I would be interested in being part of a new website for those about to become "refugees" from JC. I jumped aboard. With a lot of hard work from all parties involved in the effort, and with technical and design help from my son Justin, we launched Jazztalk.net. It's been a labor of love, with ups and downs, great moments and embarrassments, as you would expect from such a venture. It ain't easy maintaining a board such as this, believe me.

As you probably know, Scott has recently expressed an interest in officially handing over the reins to me and Justin. I'm happy to report that this transfer has now taken place. We're looking forward to our 1st anniversary (June 27th) and beyond, hoping to expand our membership and continue the mission of communication and sharing, on the subject of jazz, among others.

We appreciate you entrusting this website to us, Scott.

Respectfully,

Ron Thorne

This is news to me. I want to express thanks to Scott for taking the initiative and investing his time into getting this site to this point. He's left this in real good hands. I hope the journey forward is fun and full of new music. From one set of good hands and into two. JT2.0

Keep on keepin' on, guys!

I just like a good parade and always want to be part if it when I see one. I don't much care who the majorette is, though a pretty one is nice. (All three of you guys qualify under that criteria.)

big congrats to Ron and Justin. wishing you the best. and thanks to Scott for getting this all going. I know I need to improve my participation and promise that i'll try.

Congratulations, keep on, keeping on…

Cool to see that you guys'll keep fighting the good fight!

Great news! Thanks and congrats!

Thanks for carrying on.

Yay, thanks, Ron.

You're welcome. Thanks for the positive remarks.

I'm pleased to be able to keep this little board going as long as I can, with the help of Justin and some other loyal folks here. They include bluenoter (Rita), who has stepped up to assist in many ways as a moderator.

Onward and upward!

Thank you, Ron. Your efforts are much appreciated, along with the efforts of Scott and Justin.

i will definitely spread the word and see if I can get a couple of new members! Thanks, guys.

Thanks to all three of you for your work on here.

You're welcome. Thanks for the thanks.
