It's way too many to list, but the entire jazz playlist gang deserves a mention. Best thread here, IMO, and I don't think a day goes by where I don't learn something or pickup a new(or new to me) suggestion.
A couple of standouts are @BillyBatts and @poppachubby.
Billy is one the nicest people here and is always up for shooting the breeze about jazz(or anything to be honest), and poppa got me out of a jazz rut about 4 years ago.
It was a good rut, but he gave me a slight nudge down a different path, introduced me to a bunch of other fans on some other sites, a whole different level of the music, and my jazz enjoyment has grown beyond words ever since.
That in turn indirectly led me to connect more with the likes Billy, KeninDC, BlindBoy, Mystic and @Starchild(another AK gem).
Rome is undoubtedly one of AKs finest.
Thanks Pops. My list mirrors yours except it includes @poppachubby
But like you, I have to say there are many more that I could mention. You and @KrisM are two of my dearest friends on here.
I can't imagine life now without this forum and especially "The Jazz Playlist Thread". My Jazz life BEFORE was lonely and narrow. Now it's just amazing.
Mahalo!
Ahhh Poppa!
Thanks so much my friend for that & we miss ya on the ole Soul cafe'!
You sir are an AK treasure, indeed!

Prost...I appreciate also that Dave loves Warsteiner Bier. Or Bitburger
This has been my home everyday for almost ten years now and I have met so many wonderful friends here too numerous too mention. The music threads one of the highlights for me brings so many of us together like one big party, such fine folks. AK has enriched my life with so much information and generosity along with the joy, the laughs and even tears.
Here Here!
No truer words have been spoken, CB!
