First attempt

This post is my initial foray into blogging. Ironically, I did not accomplish a single dissertation-related action today, yet I signed up for this blog. Go figure...

In the future, I hope that this blog will serve as a metaphorical warm-up or cool-down for my brain; so, I'll try to blog first thing in the morning, or after I've accomplished my musicological goals for the day. I'm hoping for a little accountability here from the vast, anonymous legions (or at least the illusion) of blog readers out there.
