The reader write-in contests were great, and just because an entry did not get a prize does not mean it was not meaningful. Indeed, when I recommended 12 CDs of works entered in the Fantasy Symphony Competition, some of those works came from non-winning entries.
I felt that my life was out of balance and that I had to make some changes. I made that decision last year, in fact. I delayed my departure so I could cover a product that Sam Tellig had started the review process on but then sent back, and I wanted to leave on the highest note possible, and convincing Bob Ludwig to invest his time in a rather lengthy and content-rich interview process took a little time... .
After I decompress a bit I will start a blog, www.thetannhausergate.com
I'd love to land the ideal teaching job, but if that doesn't happen I will pursue other options.
And I will still make contributions here, but, I also expect that when I recommend recordings old or new, that will happen first at The Tannhauser Gate.
