Review: Happy Aniversary to Horn Articles Online
One of the oldies but goodies.
I just noticed (!) that John Ericson’s Horn Articles Online has hit its ten-year anniversary – a noteworthy accomplishment that deserves attention and praise.
Back in the mid-1990′s – the “old days” by Internet standards – only a handful of horn-related web sites with content existed. They included:
- Horn Articles Online
- Thomas Bacon’s Hornplanet
- IHS Online
- Ron Boerger’s Horn FAQ – probably the first, but sadly is no more…
- Bob Ward’s Homepage
Today, there are numerous horn-related web sites.
Horn Articles Online stands out from the pack with its tremendous depth and detail. In the ‘net-verse, web sites come and go on a regular basis; John’s web site not only has survived over the years, but continues to build with rich content. His blog is a resource that I check in on almost daily.
A big congratulations to John for ten years!
