[78-L] No more jukebox

[Jeff Lichtman]

I have shut down Swazoo Koolak's Web Jukebox.

I operated the jukebox for over fifteen years. In 
that time I offered over a hundred different 
versions of the web site with over twelve hundred 
recorded sides, all presented a dozen at a time.

Two things contributed to my decision to shut 
down the jukebox. First, web statistics showed 
that usage had fallen off greatly in its last few 
years. Second, maintaining the jukebox just 
wasn't as enjoyable for me as it once was ­ over 
the site's last year it felt more like an 
obligation than a hobby. When I realized that 
neither I nor the public was getting much out of 
the site I decided it didn't make sense for me to keep providing it.

Thank you to everyone who offered me 
encouragement over the years, and to those who 
helped me with discographical and technical information.
