What’s got two thumbs and did not make the Sounds & Fury Top 50 Classical Music Blogs: 3rd Quarter 2008 (Jul-Sep) Edition? THIS BLOG.
Despite being totally schooled by Jason Heath’s Double Bass Blog, Mostly Opera: A Woman in Her Thirties and Sticks and Drones, among 47 others, I direct you to the list for pitching purposes.
Time to start campaigning hardcore for the 4th Quarter. I’m gunning for Hugh Sung, who I hesitate to even link to for fear of increasing his readership.
Is it just that this blog, being about the performing arts and the promotion thereof in a beautifully general way, doesn’t quite fit S&F’s criteria, which stipulate that the blogs in question must be:
“…devoted principally to classical music including opera…”

What nice and supportive readers I have! Sadly, I scoped it out, and I am on the “eligible” list, so watch your back, Hugh Sung. Watch. Your. Back. -AA
But Life’s A Pitch addresses matters concerning classical music often enough that it DOES meet the criteria for eligibility for ranking in the S&F Top 50 as shown by its inclusion in the listing of Eligible Blogs. It’s not included in the S&F Top 50 ranking itself because Life’s A Pitch‘s Backward Links count placed it outside the top 50.
