Words
from the Editor’s Desk
I’m Rip Van Winkle awakening from a long dream. A while
ago I took some time off for a medical problem. Then the time
grew longer, and longer, and before I knew it I felt like
I was in retirement.
Then a weird thing happened. I missed it. I missed the deadlines,
the shows, the music and the writing. What surprised me was
how many people still knew me and pushed me. You can never
really retire from this business. It is in your blood and
soul.
