Well. Here it is. Where do I get off, blogging about music? There are certainly enough other people doing it, and on the surface I don't have any particular credentials to back me up. I'm not in a band, I'm not a journalist, and I've never had any pretensions to being a tastemaker. (Actually, I feel like a pretentious tool just using the word 'tastemaker'. It sounds like it should be the name of some kind of 1970s kitchen appliance.) I've got a day job and a family and a couple of those scary-for-some milestone birthdays under my belt. But... I do love music.
Lots of people love music, of course. (And then, some people say they love it, but really it's more that they kind of like it as a pleasant noise in the background.) So there's nothing special I can lay claim to there, either. I also (as some of my friends who've been on the receiving end of my overly wordy post-concert emails can attest) really, really like to write about music. So, why not me, really? (While we're at it, why not you? I also really, really like to read about music.)
We'll see how this little experiment shapes up.
