And here's a nice note that arrived today. From a reader who voted in our Living Drummers Poll...

Thanks for the clarification on the poll, Michael! Very much appreciated.

I did not expect a reply so soon, nor directly from you. Having watched (rather silently and without participating) AAJ's growth & expansion over some years, I can't imagine the volume of your tasks. So a quick, personal reply is nearly as surprising as it's appreciated.

Thanks for making the additions, providing the links, fixing Mr. Puente's designation... wow, I'm impressed.

I can't let it go unacknowledged that you responded just amazingly well to a guy, me, who has barely had contact with AAJ. I was participating so casually and uncharacteristically that I expected a long wait for a reply. You provided amazing (there's that word again!) customer service, and I'm not even one.

Thanks again,
Bill C.
