Yesterday marked the fourth anniversary of the first Bagatellen post: a little missive from Al “Namor” Jones on the merits of Henry Threadgill. Hard to believe this little backwater of the web has been around that long. I’m in the midst of a major laptop debacle so my postings will probably continue to be sporadic for the next week or so, but I couldn’t let the occasion pass without at least a minor toot of the kazoo & tilt of the bourbon tumbler. While there still seems to be plenty of contention regarding the relative usefulness of this place, it remains my favorite spot to hang my cyber-sombrero, nonetheless.
Also, rest in peace Leroy Jenkins: three quarters of a century still seems too soon to lose you.

Posted by: Dan Warburton at February 28, 2007 8:50 AMcurrently lost in the fragrant toils of socal grad student life; chasing an mfa in creative writing at calarts (quite a music program here: wadada leo smith, charlie haden, joe la barbera vinny golia, david rosenboom, anne lebaron and rajeev taranath, among many others, on faculty)
writing focus is elsewhere, but perhaps some (few) readers will be interested in this kludge / w.i.p.
