sound expanse

I hadn't realized just how long it had been since I last posted until I looked a moment ago. The blog has been dormant while some other things, especially work, took over. I have a big backlog of concerts, CDs, books, videos, and more to write about, and it will be coming, steadily I hope, over the next several months. In the meantime, there are a number of upcoming events for the summer that I want to point out. As always, feel free to let me know what I've missed. And if you make it to any of them, I would love to hear about it.
