We seems to have passed the 5000 mark in posts....

Thanks to all contributors, and for those of you out there hesitating to post, don't!

Perchance this calls for a glass of Chablis.......... any excuse

And to think 1,000 of those posts belong to Slack.  He should be proud.

As Dave Barry says:  There is a very fine line between "hobbies" and "mental illness".

 

Actually it's great, we've come a long way since the email list of 1997 and the community feels right - just a bunch of really nice people with a keen interest in Country Blues.  So, lots of fun for me.

Cheers,
Slack

Congrats to all concerned for hitting the 5,000 post milestone, but especially those who got the thing going in the early stages--John D, Mark, Andrew, Frank, Bill, Miller, DaveB, John H, Deacon and some others I'm probably forgetting.  I remember when I first joined and started going to the list-serve, I was really sucked in by the passion that everybody brought to their discussions of the music, and the collaborative lyric transcriptions were ear-opening.  And the tone has been good all along.
Re Beaujolais, it's probably important to remember that 3,500 of the posts have to do with the lyrics to "Last Kind Word"!
All best,
Johnm
