Welcome to My Substack

You probably know me from Facebook. I plan to (hopefully someday) move everything over here for several reasons. But the biggest so far is the ability to link to things in posts here and add images, graphs, etc., in the middle of text. Well, no, actually, maybe the biggest reason is that these posts are publicly searchable and so much easier to pull up than old Facebook posts. It’s going to take a very long time to move everything, though.

Why subscribe?

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and not miss anything I have to say/write. You can subscribe for free, or as a paid subscriber, or as a founding member. I get that everyone has different finances. You do you. If you can support my work, I appreciate it. I think I do a rather unique thing in our industry. It costs a lot personally and financially.

What if I can’t afford a paid subscription?

I am limiting more and more content to paid subscribers, due to the asshole quotient in my life, and also so that I can begin to cover some new, more sensitive topics here. I also need to try to cover some of my legal fees.

If you are a nice person and can’t afford a paid subscription, I still want you to be able to read. Let me know. Message me. Tell me what, if anything you can pay. Let me know your real name, about your work, and why you want to read for free. I will likely comp your subscription.

Do me a favor?

Please subscribe for free and tell your friends that they should to. Let’s help get the message that classical music needs to do better out into the world. Please engage in the comments section and keep the conversation moving.
