Many have done so. And those who have may know that of late my life has been a series of changes and a hive of activity these last several weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that it&#8217;s all good. I got engaged to a wonderful woman, put my home of seven years up for sale, got said home under contract, went house hunting, made an offer on a new home (accepted), closed on both homes, moved, combined households, took a quick vacation to New York City, finished (well, nearly) the largest project of my day-job career, attended my sister&#8217;s college graduation, covered two major music festivals (<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/?page_id=5628\">Big Ears<\/a> and Moogfest, the latter yet to be written about), went to several other shows, conducted several interviews, and kept up my schedule of a new blog entry every business day as the fifth anniversary of the Musoscribe blog approaches next month.<\/p>\n<p>Whew! See what I mean? Busybusybusy. And there&#8217;s a lot to come; I have amassed a huge backlog of CDs (reissues, compilations and new releases), music-related DVDs and books, and have several interviews \u201cin the can\u201d but not yet written as features.<\/p>\n<p>So thanks for your patience as I simultaneously work my day job, unpack and feather our new nest, and work through this backlog. I also invite you to peruse some of the more than 1300 pieces already here. I hope you&#8217;ll find something you enjoy.
