StLJN turns eight

Eight years ago today, the first post went up on St. Louis Jazz Notes. More than 3,200 posts later, StLJN remains one of the longest continuously operating outposts of the jazz blogosphere and one of the longest running music blogs in St. Louis, as well as the city's most regularly updated source devoted to news about jazz.

Thanks once again to all the readers, commenters, musicians, music students and educators, presenters, club owners, publicists, tipsters, media people, record label employees, and others who have taken an interest in the site over the years. I'm grateful for your time and attention, and hope never to take it for granted.

If you have any anniversary wishes, congratulations, questions, suggestions, or complaints, the comments are, as usual, open.
