Skaket Beach, Cape Cod Bay, morning, January 2, 2012 |
Last year, Blogger started telling me what are my most popular posts. Leading the pack is
Grace Slick at seventy; so, leading my shout-out list is
Michael Simmons, who sent me the lovely pic of septuagenarian Grace that led to the post. Second on my hit parade has been
Pierre Bonnard, "Late Interiors", at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; so, a salute to
Mark Crawford for inspiring me to take an interest in that painter's work, and to the
Met for mounting a great show. Other posts that have drawn lots of visits include
Jazz and the visual arts, featuring a painting by
Mike Sorgatz, and
Gabriel Fauré, Le Jardin de Dolly, another post that attempts to draw a parallel between painting and music, for which I can thank
WQXR, New York's classical music station.
I'll give special mention to John "Homer Fink" Loscalzo, publisher of
Brooklyn Bugle, which re-publishes many of my posts, and
Brooklyn Heights Blog, which is my alternative forum for writing about matters of local interest. One of my most popular posts is
Do you curate? If so, you rate?, which was inspired by my BHB colleague
Heather Quinlan. I also tip my hat to
Eliot Wagner for introducing me to new musicians and groups about which I've posted.
Finally, as always, thanks to my loyal readers--you know who you are--and to my wife and daughter.
Thank you, Claude, for the shout-out but most importantly for the best Booming Self-Absorption on the Interyenta. Keep 'em coming!
