Programming note for the blog: This is post number 200!  It’s been a bit tough going in recent weeks; the day’s post has gone up awfully close to the end of the day a few times in recent weeks, due to my not being able to get posts prepared in advance, but I’m hanging in there with daily posts, something maintained now since November 28 (with a couple of days where a second post snuck in there!).

For those who have continued to follow along, thanks!  I’ve got some more good stuff coming up (assuming I can write it all out), so stay tuned.  Recently I tripped across a couple of albums by artists who I’ve loved for years, but didn’t know they had got their new albums out, so I guess it’ll be a review of quasi-new material at that point, but it’s worth covering nonetheless.
