During the next week or so of travel, family activities and general holiday merriment, the Rifftides staff will post as often as possible, but you may note a diminution of blogtivity. Rifftiders and Rifftidings will be on our minds, and we hope to hear from you by way of the Comments function at the end of each item or the e-mail address in the right-hand column. All the best to each of you for the holidays.
Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...
In a world of otherwise miserable news, it is always a treat to visit your site and share in your celebration of music and your recognition of the artists who make it.
Thanks for all of the stories and the great leads on new and newly discovered music.
I am about to be getting everything in order to go around the world with my auntie. they are extremely excited, but i have to admit, i’m completely clueless when it comes to the ways of the world and how to be polite to different cultures. i’m 37 years young and have never left my own land, so needless to say i am a little bit nervous thinking about trying to do the smallest things while on my travels. i commend you on giving us , to quote the title: “Holiday – Rifftides” i found the content unmeasurably useful!
