Letters to The Editor May 2018

This Is What We Do To the Editor: The enclosed check for $100 should be allocated - $55 for a two year renewal of my subscription and $45 for the tip jar. Because of the great work you and your staff are doing publishing The Syncopated Times, my wife and I have researched, attended, and enjoyed the West Texas Jazz Party and the Colorado Springs Jazz Party in 2016. We have also done the Evergreen Jazz Festival and the Arizona Classic Jazz Festival in 2017. So far in 2018 we attended the North Carolina Jazz Party in February and have plans for the Jeff and Joel’s House Party in Branford, CT this October. If you and your staff can keep up the fine work we will do our best to support the events and performers with our patronage. Dave and Mary Hall Dallas, Texas I can’t thank you enough for your kind testimonial (and subscription renewal with gift), but I am even more grateful that you attend the festivals we advertise and list in the Roundup. We’re here to promote good music and to ensure that it continues to play in live performance. When readers say they enjoy going to the events because they saw them mentioned in TST, I’m convinced the paper is making a positive difference. -Ed. What Coastal Bias?
