Updates and maintenance

.....Since I've put in some time recently with end-of-the-season lawn care, the last of the heavy duty cutting and clipping before the raking begins, it has occured to me that with the kids back in school and new shows on television that any readers of this blog might be going through their bookmarks and trimming anything that seems abandoned. I've suffered delays here, largely due to work I've been doing on my more research intensive LGC:Doom Patrol blog, but I never intended to abandon these capsules of musical nostalgia, it's just that since it had previously been posting almost daily the delays seem much more dramatic in comparison to the other, where delays and gaps have been chronic.

.....The first step towards being a more responsible inter-neighbor has been to check each and every link on the right side of the page, which you'll find under the heading "Lather, Rinse, Repeat...". I'm happy to report that none of those websites or blogs have been taken down (although a few haven't been updated in a while, either, which made me feel a little less guilty). Only the link for original period instruments, which is actually just a page for the label L'Oiseau Lyre, did not allow me to 'back space' back to this blog. I'm assuming that this is because it's part of an enormous commercial interest (Universal Music) that doesn't want its web designs imbedded in their entirety in some online retailer's site trying to pretend that it's their own. (I've seen this happen to Amazon.) Still, everything works. And if I can get myself back on track I may be adding to them soon.
