My Blog!: I've started writing an occasional blog - it will deal for the most part with musical stuff. I'm treating it as a kind of musical diary - stuff that strikes me in the course of my musical day, things that I find interesting or annoying, or fascinating, or wonderful, or baffling - things that I talk about with other musicians. Hopefully you'll find something there that might interest you - adn please feel free to comment!
