Jason Heath’s Double Bass Blog

After reading a recent post on Matt Heller’s hella frisch blog, I found this delightfully maddening story about a recent audition experience from a Washington, D.C. violinist. Check out her tale on her blog Dragons and Princesses. She is just trying to warm up and some obnoxious Russian violinist comes into her [...]

* Polyester pants, golf shirt, and golf hat. * Tuxedo - Only available with Gigging Trombone Teacher Doll (supplies limited)

This is not a music blog, but it is a great example of the power of blogging. Boston 1775 is a blog about the American Revolutionary War in Massachusetts. Here is a little information about the author:

J. L. BELL is a Massachusetts writer who specializes in (among other [...]

I realized yesterday that I had not added the excellent blog Adaptistration by Drew McManus to my music blogroll. I just did so, and you can find it in my sidebar on the left. Drew’s blog is about the changing face of the symphony orchestra, and it is a really excellent classical music [...]

Patti from oboeinsight wrote a recent post highlighting a list of the top 51 (51?) most popular classical music blogs. Her blog comes in at #15, which is pretty cool. The list was compiled by Scott Spiegelberg from the Musical Perceptions blog. Check out his list here.
I’ve just got one question–how come [...]

I recently registered the domain doublebassblog.com. You can now also access my blog through that URL. I have no immediate plans to move this blog from Blogger hosting (blogspot), but I may do so sometime in the future, so I’ll probably start passing this new URL out on my correspondence.

Greg Sarchet sent me a link to the Iraqi National Symphony Blog recently. This is an interesting use of Blogger, and it is one that I have seen used in many Middle Eastern countries. The ease of use of Blogger and ability to quickly post text, photos, and other information are among the [...]

I just saw that ArtsJournal.com is sporting a sleek new look. This home page for a popular network of arts blogs now has a three column layout with some snippets from all the most recent posts, YouTube video embeds, and teasers for some of the “premium content” that the site offers. It looks [...]
