Music Lane

Still just don't have the time. However, while taking a bit of time to watch some of the Olympics, I mosied on over here. With due humility [well, none actually], the excitement that I bring, not to mention all of my special insights into music - are just missing due to my absence.

One of these days I may return. Someday. OTOH, maybe not. So little time ---

Anyway, here's a partial list of topics I'd post - if I had the time. I may post some of these little by little over time. I'll probably add to the list and post addendums.
