Well, looks like I haven’t posted to this blog since advertising the June Albany All-Day singing in, well, June [Doh, May]. Now it’s August. That makes this blog about as close to dead as it’s ever been.

Since I last posted I went on a 10-day trip to Alabama for Camp Fasola and a bunch of wonderful and varied Sacred Harp singings, had a great experience holding a singing school and performance/assembly with Carrie at Widow Jane Mine in Rosendale, NY, sang in the Newport Folk Festival, and did tons of other things that merit posting.

I do have time to write blog posts, but ever since I made the decision to keep personal information to a minimum in March of last year, I’ve felt less and less motivated to take the time to write here.

• If you want to follow my thoughts on politics and various other matters by looking over my shoulder as I persue the Internet, then be sure to check out my del.icio.us bookmarks, which I obsessively organize and post to quite regularly. (This, no doubt, has also contributed to the dirth of content here, in particular, the absence of political writing.) My del.icio.us bookmarks are also available from this site, via links in the sidebar.
• I’m also slightly better about updating the news section of my art portfolio with information about upcoming events and reports on shows and performances in my art life than I am about making such announcements here.
• I also update my art portfolio and my shape note music web site with documentation of art projects and scores to new tunes on a fairly regular basis.

So, I’m not ready to declare this blog dead. I hope I find some reason in the near future to pick it up again and start posting. I’m writing this to acknowledge the reality that I have effectively stopped posting. Please keep me in your RSS reader, if you can spare the space. Hope to be back soon.
