It's official! I'm retiring my wordpress to move here. For good. So there you have it. Welcome to the new and improved version of my blog. I posted the above photog for celebratory reasons. Also, a neat tidbit: it's from the year 1900 at the World's Fair in Paris-Vicennes. Neat. I feel especially fond of it as a result of my participation in (and partial role in founding) the World's Fair Book and Supper Club. A brilliant bunch of folks, and one of the things I miss most about living in the City of Angels.
On an entirely unrelated note, I have something wonderful for you. Great music brought to us by--you couldn't have guessed it!--the PCA! Well, not directly. Bifrost arts is technically an ecumenical religious organization "closely linked" to the PCA. Still a surprise, in my mind.
It just seems like lots of good-hearted, well-meaning evangelicals produce all kinds of sub-par music each year. What a breath of fresh air this music is. It's folk, it's old-time favorites, and by the kind of people you want making your music. I recommend this anthology of hymns and spiritual songs. Or, if you're feeling festive, they have a great Christmas record. Add these to your Christmas list, or someone else's. You'll discover all kinds of quality musicians just by listening to one lovely album.
