Congrats and Best Wishes On the New Site

[Archtop]

Guess someone's gotta break the ice. All the best to John and Jessica with the new web site! Pretty cool.

Thanks for breaking the ice, Archtop. I love your picture. I always wondered what you looked like. Are you related to Alf?

Hi Laura,

Not that I know of, but it's a small world . I'll have to dig around to find a decent picture of myself (this is not low hanging fruit ). Or, a decent pic of one of my geetars (much more doable). Until then, I think Scrat is pretty representative.

I started listening to Radio Deluxe in Toronto, Canada on Jazzfm (great station, you gotta listen to it on the web ). But shortly after I started listening, I moved to the States in a small burg near New York City (still here, too). The first thing I looked for was a way to continue listening to Radio Deluxe. Thankfully, I can download the shows from the website and listen to them whenever I want, however much I please. And that pleases me! Congrats and great job with the website and this new blog. I look forward to reading more.

If you haven't seen the current Jazz Times magazine, with a profile of John and Jessica and their show, check it out. That's how I heard about this great two-hour tribute to beauty.... and I am a fool for beauty, to quote Rodgers & Hart.

OK, now that the thread's started, time for a little Thread Drift: My Lovely Wife (TM) and I enjoyed very delish Chinese food while also enjoying the equally delish John, Jessica, Martin, and that baby-faced Jewish Violinist kid (whatzisnameagain?) as they knocked out the early seating crowd at Shanghai Jazz in Madison, NJ.

Thanks for a splendid time at one of NJ's great spots for The Jazz.

Seeya!
