<div dir="auto">I have been missing our international and US,correspondents on DJML and was delighted to get message from Jim Kashishian and others.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Oh how we miss Bob Ringwald and other active correspondents who recently passed!</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Thanks Jim and others. Keep those messages coming.</div>

</div>
<div dir="auto">Now for a brief update on Jazz Society of Pensacola. We had our 38th annual free two-day jazz festival in April in Seville Square in downtown Pensacola and a book from Pensacola Bay. (Pensacola was first settled by Spanish in 1559)</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">We hold two regular monthly events: a jazz jam and a regular jazz program featuring jazz band or group.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">One unique feature is our jazz room at our downtown public library. It was a cooperative effort begun in early 1980s when LPs were transitioning to Cds. Now the collection of CDs, DVDs, play along books and Cds is valued at $20,000. We even
have a set of 17 volume Anderson Fakebooks.</div>
<div dir="auto">Of course, there are jazz photos and jazz art which also value and enjoyment.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Our library director has researched and found that there is only one other public library in the U. S. which has a similar room devoted exclusively to jazz. (Others have rooms devoted to music but only two devoted exclusively to jazz.) The
other public library jazz room is in eastern Washington State .</div>
<div dir="auto">Speaking of library and Jazz Society cooperation, downtown public library sponsors a free,jazz program, midday two times monthly as well as some other jazz events at outlying branches . Jazz society cosponsors the events at downtown library
and it gives us opportunity to publicize tours of the jazz room and promote our other jazz society programs. A truly win-win-win situation for library, jazz society and jazz musicians.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Thanks dear friends for your attention. If you would like to be added to our monthly email newsletter, please let me know.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Yours for jazz,</div>
