In my silence-breaking blog entry from a few days ago, I wrote:

"Lately I've been preparing copies of the latest [Dancing To Architecture] column ... If all goes well, you should be able now or soon to go to gaamc.org/services and find a link to the column, too, in pdf form and glorious color (which we can't afford to print in)."

Well, I'm thrilled to report that the column has in fact been putonline for y'all to read and enjoy. Despite a couple of minor errors that look glaring to me and my picky internal self-critic, I'm proud of squeezing in over a dozen musicians that deserve greater attention: YOUR attention (please). Even those I didn't do much more than mention a few folks = Troy Rusnack, Regina Sayles, and Sweet Namate = they at least earn my recommendation that you can listen to the songs they've posted at Myspace and you won't feel you've wasted your time (at the least!; my hope is you'll find them interesting enough to explore more; and they all, in my experience, were better represented by their live performances than by their recordings).
And I don't mean to forget Josh Zuckerman, who I also short-changed by merely mentioning him, but I've written about him before, and he has received more attention from other quarters than any other musician in my column but Shelby Lynne, and I have to expect that most of you readers are more familiar with his music than any other in the column. Zuckerman gets kudos for the love he gives time and again to Q events and other issues-deserving-of-support's events. I've been to about a half-dozen events myself where he has performed presumably for nothing but the CD sales or a small stipend. (And I make that presumption based on my understanding of the financial resources of the groups he performs for.)

But my primary purposes today are:
to praise Andy Skurna, GAAMC Trustee and website editor, for being the first in a string of GAAMC officers to not just see the potential of having content that mentions people and items that could generate hits on search engines and therefore traffic on the site, but wh also Actually Put The Content On The Site,
to give you an additional nudge to read Dancing To Architecture - Music Reviews and News with a Queer Ear - online finally,
and (I see I've "buried the lead" of this entry) to proclaim Mea Culpa about a communications-disconnect on my part.

Unlike what I wrote last time, the article is NOT linked from www.GAAAC.org/services, but FROM THE HOME PAGE,
www.GAAMC.org
-- Discovering that the link is there - at least for the month of June, as part of a special Gay Pride Month 2008 section - is a wonderful delightful surprise.

Look for this paragraph at GAAMC.org
Dancing to Architecture Special Edition: In the June 2008 edition of Dancing to Architecture, Bill Realman Stella's column of music reviews and news with a Queer ear, he catches up with Ron Morris's move from cute and cubby to more serious territory, tips his hat to Shelby Lynne's tribute to the songs of Dusty Springfield, and gives his two cents about the exciting line-up of performers on the music stage at Jersey Pride. Click on the following title to open an interactive .pdf with links galore to artists' websites and venues: Dancing to Architecture. You will also find Roy Schneider, Geoff Baker and, yes, really, Louis C.K.

Go there now. PLEASE!

with semi-literate hugs,
Bill,
who's also on the verge of posting a wild, weird video - the worst and the most tantalizing video ever, because the camera was shoting unintentionally, but which captures, without too much distortion, the sound of the fantastic Danielia Cotton who, yes, is at least as good performing live as she is on her recordings, just as I had hoped in the column - to YouTube. (My first video post there.)
