Not a music post, but...

I'll be making more music posts soon, but in the interim I should mention that my dear, old friend Alex, whose idea it was for me to keep a blog of music writing in the first place, will be appearing as a contestant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire this Friday night, July 27th. I'm not sure if they tape these things well in advance or whether they play them the evening of their taping, but either way, he'll be in the studio on Friday and, being a fine gentleman and talented writer, I encourage you to wish him well at that time. Winning on a game show is, as he put it, the only effective way of saving for retirement these days. Good luck, Alex!
