Well, this is it. After more than four years as your daily news editor, this is my final story. Since August of 1999, Ive been lucky enough to have one of the greatest jobs I could ever imagine, combining my love for journalism with my passion for music. For that, a huge thank you goes out to Dr. Dean Budnick and Pete Shapiro for giving me this opportunity. (Andy Gadiel also gets props for his early work with this website.) Thanks also to all of you, the readership, for making Jambands.com a part of your daily routine and for contributing so much timely information (_especially_ the infamous Rob Turner, who is as loyal a supporter of this scene as anyone). Of course all good things must come to an end, so Im off to pursue other endeavors. I will however continue to write about the music we all love, for both Jambands.com and Relix Magazine. The daily news will continue as well, with Dr. Budnick at the helm. As of Monday, please send all submissions to [email protected]..

I look forward to reading the news each morning as I sip my coffee
Cheers.
