ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

With this 6th star I wish to re-affirm my dedication to the growth of the Little Station That Could. I want to thank all of our listeners, forum members, and the vast amount of silent participants that make this endeavor worthwhile.

It is truely an honor to have people tune in, have us be your preferred choice for music. There are soooo many other options out there. We have momentum, we have an automated request system that allows our listeners to direct the feel of the station; in a sense become our virtual djs. No wonder we continue to spread and grow like wild-fire!

I wish to thank the friends that I have made here on the forum in the past year. I feel a great bond with a great group of people and this circle of friends has added to my life immensly.

I wish to thank Riggs, without whom this all would not have happened.

Most of all, I wish to thank all those listeners who do actually enjoy my shows on sunday evening. When I first started the Jazz 101, I admit I was in it to shock. How dare an 80's station all of a sudden start doing jazz just like that on sunday night!? I admit a great deal of my base audience was undoublty folks that said "what the hell?? where did this jazz come from?? wow a LIVE365 station with a live dj?? what have I stumbled upon???? And they have been hooked and have supported me ever since. And then the forum folks started showing up!! Combined with the up and coming artists who send me music to feature to an ever-growing world-wide audience; you make sunday nights the highlight of my week!

Thank you, my friends.
