IT'S ALIVE!!! Popping my head up before I disappear again for a few days ...

Gearing up to head out of here for a couple days. If you want to catch me tonight, I'll be down in NYC for the latest sestina shindig:

Then, we're going to do something different and spend time with friends for a couple days. Because wow this winter was turning us into hermits, When I get back, it's mostly work, work, work. Now that my computer problems are resolved, time to get back to Radius and all the writing I was putting off.

Oh! And Saturday I'm reviewing Audra McDonald at the Hanover Theatre, which I'm rather excited about.

OK, some things happened while I was computer impaired. For instance, Radius published Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz's I’ve Got a Freaking Song In My Heart, So Come On, Let’s Go: Some Reflections on Maggie Estep.

Over on Telegram.com, I reviewed the latest from 33 Leaves and Andrew Scandal, and compiled a list of awesome love songs by local musicians. It was a Valentine's column, of course, but the songs are pretty much good year round.
