“You should be blogging,” my brother Mark first said to me sometime around 2005.
I succumbed on May 24, 2008 when arts·meme went live – with Mark’s excellent tech support.
Then he started saying, “You should be tweeting.”
Okay, enough is enough!
Inspired by a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert under the baton of Esa-Pekka Salonen, I mustered my first blog entry.
Symbolic in a way. Although a dance writer, I was keen to scribble about my other arts passions — classical music, film, jazz, museums — and to connect the dots. So welcome to blogging!
Happy birthday, arts•meme.
And … give us a smile, honey!
