Just a note to express my gratitude to everyone who takes the time to share on here. Great stuff.

Ira

You, too, Ira! Thank you for providing the place to share.

Yeah, this is always a great place to hang out… I’m thankful for the whole lousy lot of you!!

Thank you, Ira, for being instrumental in helping misfits stranded in backwaters around the country (and world) discover that there was intelligent life out there somewhere if you just knew where to look for it.

Thanks to the inestimable Ira for his decades of service. My friends and I did indeed refer to our TP books as “the bible.”

And for all the
info-tainment I get from all you crazy kids.

Thank you ira,
For always being left of the dial.

I have such fondness for the TP years I experienced way back when. Having this forum is a touchstone to a kinder, gentler era as well as a great source of information and camaraderie. Many thanks to Ira for making it possible. The Steve Hoffman Music Forums take donations to maintain it ad-free. I'd be happy to do the same here. Just saying.

Thank you, Ira, for the biggest chunk of my musical education, for the HUGE inspiration as a writer, and for the opportunity to contribute to my favorite music site.
