Have too much fun! I’m so sad I’m missing it this year.

I miss the days of later startsβ€”we’re beginning week 6 tomorrow!

Someday I will learn coffee in the late afternoon is a terrible idea. Today isn’t that day and tomorrow doesn’t look promising, either.

Picturing Music History: A Community-Based Public Musicology Class Project A few years ago, based on increasing student interest, I was asked to create my college’s first course in Black American music history. I use a variety of media in my teaching, from primary sources…

I do one, yes, but I think the one @professorberry.bsky.social is looking for was Julia’s on The Jigsaw: www.teachingmusichistory.com/2023/01/23/p...

Happy belated birthday (I know how much more it stinks than usual to lose a fur baby on your birthdayβ€”I had to say goodbye to Tommy on mine).

Oh no! This has been such a rough year for you with the fur babies. Sending hugs, friend.

Incidentally, I have connective tissue disorder where retinal detachment is common, so you can imagine why I panicked and went to the ER!

Oof, I wound up in the ER with one of those in May. I had no idea those were a thing, which is why I went. It was 2 weeks after my rotator cuff surgery and the docs and nurses would come in before looking at my paperwork, saw I was in a sling, and all thought I was there for my arm. Not fun.

Oh, Kevin. I’m so sorry about LuLu and Megatron. Sending hugs.

I think we need to make it best practice to thank those who teach our classes while doing research in our pubs. I happen to know which adjunct is teaching the class I would have taught if it weren’t for my course release this semester for my book research. He’s getting an acknowledgment in the book.

I’ve been doing it since January 2021 in all my courses, including grad courses. Happy to chat if you’d like!

My tenure letter arrived today, a day I never thought I’d see (those of you who know my history understand why).

I did it. I really did it.

It’s the worst. PhD, 19 years teaching as instructor of record, 4 books, and currently associate professor, and you may or may not be shocked that you make more than me. It’s awful out there. Hugs, friend.

You have such awful luck with living spaces, dear duck. Let me know if you need anything from afar.

I’m devastated by the loss of David Lynch, whose work has had such an impact on me. Have some damn fine coffee, up there!

Public writing related to music, that is.

Do I know anyone who writes album reviews or concert reviews not targeted toward academics or does any other type of public writing, broadly defined (for instance, podcast scripts count) who might be willing to virtually visit my public musicology class this spring?

I’m so sorry, friend.
