So you're doing Double Duty this week hosting Forgotten Music today and Forgotten Books tomorrow. You're a great host and I appreciate your hard work!

Todd Mason said...

Thanks, George, only it would've been "triple duty" including the A/V links on Tuesday...but, since the conference in New Orleans was cancelled, Patti is on hand to do the links tomorrow for FFB. I'm not sure it's Hard work...but I enjoy it.

Hi Todd

Leaving the link for FFB. Marie Belloc Lowndes' The End of Her Honeymoon (1913).

Guess will have to leave a link at Patti's blog too.

Thanks for continuing to do Monthly posts!

Todd, you are full of surprises! I appreciate the inclusion of the Owen Wister composition. I listen to a lot of music (unappreciated and forgotten as well) but I can't commit to doing a regular music post here owing to sheer lack of time. I mean, I spend four hours travelling to and from work in Bombay, which, in spite of its comparison to New York, is a hell of a place to live and work in. The city of teeming millions grows on you, though.

Never fear, Prashant--if you choose to squeeze another commitment in, this one is a monthly meme. (I have a not so dissimilar commute, I fear, only I go through Philadelphia from an Eastern (New Jersey) suburb to a western (Pennsylvania) suburb of the city...on the one (1) true highway that allows for that trip, frequently clogged even at the best of times.

Of course, I could take public transport...but it costs Even More than driving (!) and takes longer. I can sleep or read on the trains, though, I suppose...when I get a seat...
