I just added a group for ContemporaryJazz.com on Facebook. I’m on Facebook every day and it’s my primary way for keeping up with friends and family. If you’re a fan of the site and/or the radio station, come join the group!

Today’s My Birthday

John Hilderbrand — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 06:00:30 +0000

One more year until the big 4-0. It’s hard to believe I started this site when I was a fresh 26 years old. A lot has happened in those years, in my life and in jazz.

Since it’s my birthday, here’s a fun and relevant link. It’s the #1 Song This Day In History. Through this site, I found out that top song when I was born was “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon and Garfunkel. Of all of the songs that hit #1 in the years I’ve been alive, I think my favorite is “Rock Me Amadeus” by Falco. Really.

Happy Holidays!

It is the most wonderful time of the year. I wish you the happiest of holidays!

Me on Twitter

Twitter is a free service for people to communicate through the exchange of quick, frequent messages (or “tweets”). I’ve been using it to share what I’m listening to, and still will. I’m increasing the scope of what I do with it, though. Since it’s not always easy for me to write up a post about something, I’m going to tweet quick news. They will be something like “Stefon Harris signs with Concord [llink].”

You can get the updates on the Twitter site, by mobile, and via IM. Again, Twitter is free – no spam, no invasion of privacy. If you’d rather not join, I will continue to sync up my tweets on the ContemporaryJazz.com home page.
