Post #3,500

We try to go light on the self-referential stuff here at StLJN. However, though the site just took a brief metaphorical victory lap last month to celebrate its ninth birthday, it seems only fitting to pause, however briefly, to note that this is post number 3,500 on St. Louis Jazz Notes.

Many thanks to all the readers, commenters and sources who have been part of this site since it began in April, 2005. Here's hoping you'll keep reading for another 3,500 posts.

As usual, if you feel so inclined you can use the comments to offer your hearty congratulations, helpful suggestions, and/or bitter complaints.
