[Facelift]

Thanks for a great run! I've got a ton of Cuneiform releases and look forward to many more years of them.

Which brings me to this: what's the future of this label? Do you already have an exit strategy, or is the plan for full steam ahead, come what may? Do you have any idea what 10 years from now might look like, from the business/operations perspective of the label?

[battema]

Cheers to 30 years, Steve

Got lots of Cunidiscs in my collection, and look forward to adding a few more in May

[Steve F.]

Do you already have an exit strategy

Yes. I'm hoping you don't ask this question of people when they announce wedding anniversaries...

[Facelift]

Yes. I'm hoping you don't ask this question of people when they announce wedding anniversaries...

Good idea!

One of the best anniversay cards I've ever seen:

Two seniors sitting across the breakfast table from each other with thought bubbles above their heads expressing the exact same thing: "If I had killed you 50 years ago, I'd have been freed from prison by now."

Anyway, I was just curious about what the future holds - as I'm sure most people are of institutions that they like, but which are becoming marginalized.

Congratulations Steve!!

I'm a relatively recent discoverer of the joys of Cuneiform but must admit to being addicted to your releases. I've discovered so much new music through you & your teams efforts. You single handedly re-energized my love of jazz. A hearty thank you from me.

Two of my fondest concert memories are also Cuneiform related, the Univers Zero - Miriodor concert in Washington DC, and the two day Cuneifest which had a brilliant line up and wonderful atmosphere amongst the bands, organizers and fans.

Cheers & keep up the good work!!

[Steve F.]

Thanks, Ian.

[Esoteric]

and congratulations to you too Steve! You need stamina for this business-- and clearly you have it in spades.

[helicase]

Here's to the next 30 years!

[nosebone]

Congrats Steve, that's an amazing accomplishment!

[progeezer]

Congrats my friend, from someone who likes you far more than most (but not all) of your artists.

[NogbadTheBad]

Congrats my friend, from someone who likes you far more than most (but not all) of your artists.

If you liked them all Steve would have to go out and find someone you hated, Steve's like that

[Pr33t]

I've been paying attention for half of that time - here's to another 15 great years!

[LighthouseKeeper]

Great run, and many more!! Congrats.

Cuni releases make up a good portion of my collection and I look forward to your release announcements. Thanks for your devotion to your craft, Steve.

[GuitarGeek]

Awesome news. You've brought us lots of great music Steve. Your efforts are most appreciated in these quarters.

[thedunno]

Congratulations on 30 years of releasing great music!

My favorite Cuneinformrelease? Its a tough call but I'll go for Hamster Theatre - Carnival Detournement.

Reminds me I still hafta order those Present re-issues :-)

[Shadow]

Yes. I'm hoping you don't ask this question of people when they announce wedding anniversaries...

My 38th was yesterday, now if I can only remember where I put that plan.

Congratulations Steve, working for yourself is not as easy as people think.

[undergroundrailroad]

Cuneiform/Wayside changed my life.

[Pook1973]

Congratulations, Steve! 30 years in any business is an amazing accomplishment. Of course, I'm old enough to remember that your efforts span a longer period than that - I still have the ol' Random Radar Records catalogs tucked-away in a bureau drawer. You have much to be proud of!

[wideopenears]

Steve, you rock....in many ways.
Thanks!

And, BTW, Tom Welsh says "hello."

Hey, I'm pretty sure this is wrong, but you aren't Jocelyn Pook, are you?

Well, congrats Steve! Lots of great releases in those 30 years.

[walt]

*The Pinhas/Yoshida and the Joel Harrison cds sound killer.I'll take these two...to go.

[Joe F.]

Thanks for all that you do Steve to bring some truly great music to us.

My first Cuneiform purchase was the second Present album on vinyl around '85 or so from Wonderwall Music in Redmond, Washington. A fan of the label ever since.

I look forward to many more great releases.

[nosebone]

Cuneiform/Wayside changed my life.

I'll second that!

Led Bib - "The People in Your Neighborhood" just shot right up to the top of my MUST HAVE NOW list. Great stuff!!
