ghost of miles Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) A significant day! Every time a March 3 rolls around, I remember that as the "day of infamy" in Blue Note bulletin board history (it was the day they suddenly truncated and severely modified the board), and while doing a search for any previous topics about said board, came across the release date for Waiting For The Boogaloo Sisters. My, how time... does whatever it does. Glad to see both the group and the O still in good health after all these years.

sidewinder Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 It amuses me to recall all of the stragglers checking in on this board and announcing their presence ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I remember being one of those stragglers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 same here. I was "cherryco" on the BNBB. Can't remember who I am these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 It's great that so many of us are still here - and even greater that Jim has kept this board going for thirteen years. It can't have been easy. So thank you, Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 It's been a great place to interact about jazz, better than the Blue Note Board ever was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 ...and not just jazz...the number of members here who know a lot of things about a lot of different musics...I feel free (enough) to throw things up here that I'd not in any other environment because i know that there will be that common bond of "jazz" in the responses, that even if I'm getting it "wrong" there will be an understanding of why I might be so doing. Rightly or not, that feeling of freedom to inquire and share and grow means a lot to me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Wow. 13 years. Crazy to think I've known many of you now -- albeit some only virtually -- for almost two decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yup, it's been a great run so far. But if I can hit a cautionary note: what if all the info on this board were to disappear? It's too bad it can't all be archived in some fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Then perhaps it will be much the same as Eric Dolphy's statement: "When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air. You can never capture it again." Nothing lasts forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightly or not, that feeling of freedom to inquire and share and grow means a lot to me personally. I completely agree with you Jim. There's an amazing number of incredibly knowledgeable people here -- but the overall vibe is very open and inquisitive and chilled. You don't find that sort of combination often, especially on the intranet. I'm not a BNB vet like many of you. Relatively speaking, I'm still a newbie here at organissimo. But I'm glad to be a part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 It would be interesting to read a webarchive of that old Blue Note bulletin board. Any pointers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 The BNBB seems SO long ago! It was great for most of its life, but collapsed under an avalanche of infighting and endless bitching about Nora Jones. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, the good old days ...
