hey gang. i just passed my masters orals, so i'm officially a master's candidate in ethnomusicology! all i have to do now is write my thesis. i just wanted to say thanks to the folks on this site, because you guys have given me a lot of insight and inspiration over the years. i joined this site when i was still a junior in high school (circa 2002), and didn't really know what i wanted to do with my life besides sing and play the piano. i even wrote my junior thesis (i went to a college where you wrote junior and senior theses before you could graduate) on the similarities between ellington and monk's piano styles.

anyway, thank you again to all of you, particularly scot, nor, 7, whacky, mike, and anyone else who's answered my questions over the years. this site has had a profound effect on my development as a musician.

outstanding, very nice to hear about your success! now that ljp has been up and running for fifteen years (makes me feel old :) there's been a steady trickle of people sending me emails or posting messages like this about how ljp has been a help to them in their endeavors, academically as well as professionally. makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :)
