Apologies to those of you who recently tried to reach this blog via its alternate URL, www.terryteachout.com. Due to circumstances temporarily beyond our control, that address didn’t work yesterday. Now it does. Sorry about that.
In other news, the workshop rehearsals for The Letter are going smashingly well. More when they’re over, but here’s the bottom line: I think we’ve got a hot one here. Watch this space for details….

Via Boing Boing via Gaper’s Block via Coudal Partners comes news of a fortune cookie fortune that inspired someone to create a web page deeming it “the best fortune cookie ever.” That’s neat, but do they all know the very same fortune also inspired the lovely and talented Erin McKeown to write a terrific song, beloved by me and Terry? (See track #3, “Life on the Moon.”) Maybe someday we can live on the moon,” the song goes; but “because we can doesn’t mean we have to.” What’s next, the novel?

“A masterpiece is just a successful experiment. You never hear of the unsuccessful ones.”
Gil Evans (quoted in Gene Lees, Arranging the Score)
