Hello friends,

Here's to 2008!  

I'm looking forward to a year of health, happiness and marvelous music.

I thank many, many of you for your e-mails, cards and calls as I coped
with cancer in '07.  I've been back at work since December 3rd but
decided to do a "soft launch".  My strength and stamina is returning
slowly.  Five years from now I plan to regard the cancer episode as just
a blip on my life's radar screen.

I will be more active on the list once again.  I look forward to being
eventually caught up on new music.  And, I look forward to catching up
with many of you online or on the phone after the IAJE conference.

I am not going to attend the IAJE conference this year.  There are
financial issues, and I probably couldn't handle it physically as well.
But, there is the JazzWeek summit in June!  I'll have hugs a- plenty for
all.

I have some VERY good news to share with you regarding WEMU.  Our new
evening jazz host and chief librarian will be the legendary Evelynn
Hawkins!  Yes--that Evelynn who created documentaries on Mary Lou
Williams, was the music director for WCPN and WDUQ and who hosted some
of the finest panels ever at the IAJE conference.  We are truly excited
and honored to have Evelynn join our krewe!  Her first evening show will
be Wednesday, January 9th.

So, here's to 2008, to Evelynn Hawkins, to life, to love, to you.

Linda
