In case you were wondering....

In case you were wondering what I've been doing for the past month in a half; well a lot! We're about to re-open a newly renovated theater. The holidays came and went (as did I). Let's just say that there's is a lot on my plate.

I've also been reading. To say Alex Ross' book The Rest is Noise is interesting is a mild understatement. It will be one of the classics of the literature. One of the things that makes a good non-fiction book for me is its ability to induce you to think. The words on the page, as eloquent as they are, are only the tip of the iceberg. Ross' book immerses us in the world of 20th century music, viewed in a cultural and historical context. As a result it forces, cajoles, and encourages me to the think about the entirety of the past century. I can't put it down, but more importantly, I can't stop thinking about it.

This must be on your reading list. I'm sure it will be one of those books that I will re-read on a regular basis. Bravo Alex!
