Year's End - New Beginnings! ["Thurlow, Robin" Subject: Alloy: Announcement. Year's End - New Beginnings! Dear Alloy Members, The year 2006 has brought us great news and spectacular events. Our Fearless Mr. Dolby has taken up his tour (!!!) and has received extraordinary acclaim from fans and fellow musicians. Scores of new listeners are being introduced to Thomas' music thanks to his innovative solo shows and the great publicity he's been generating as a true artist and master of the craft. He's also composing music for our very eager hearts and minds. I'm sure I speak for everyone at Alloy when I say, CONGRATULATIONS, Thomas, on all of your success!! We all look forward very avidly to each new direction your work might take. We're hanging on your every note. We love you!! It is indeed a privilege to be part of Thomas' core group of long-time fans, in whom he will always find great admiration, intense enthusiasm and encouragement. I do need to make a personal and professional announcement to all of my friends here at Alloy. I may sound a bit awkward, because this is a bit difficult for me to say. But after many years, I must sadly announce that I will be stepping down as List Owner. It has been a tremendous honour to have held the position for so long. Through this list I have made strong friendships that I know will endure for the rest of my life. I've come to think of Alloy as a refuge. It is now my great pleasure, though, to announce Melissa Jordan as the new Owner of Alloy. Many of you here already know Melissa quite well. She has always been a brilliant, poised, friendly and welcoming presence, on this List, and wherever else her travels have taken her. She has lived in the United States, England and Russia, and has held more professional positions in the fields of international human relations and education than I can even begin to list. She is a writer, visual artist, singer and skilled craftsperson. Currently, Melissa is employed by the National Geographic Society and is writing and performing her own segments for broadcast on National Public Radio. Melissa has been a long-time proponent of Thomas' music throughout his career, and has become one of his dearest friends. Alloy's unique atmosphere of civility, comfort and friendship is one which she deeply enjoys and wishes wholeheartedly to continue as List Owner. Please join me in welcoming Melissa in her new position! Thanks, and very best wishes to everyone for the coming year.. xxx ~robin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2006 12:16:07 -0800 (PST) From: Elaine Subject: Re: Alloy: Announcement.
