44. One week in (well, almost)...

1. No broken promises. 5 for 488 and counting...

2. Reviewing the Inauguration: various and conflicting responses among music"y" folk to Williams's Air and Simple Gifts here and here and here. Also, Yo-Yo (I like to call him that. "Hi, nice to meet you, Mr. Ma." "Oh, really, just call me Yo-Yo....") revealed on NPR this week what we all already knew: they were finger-syncing.

3. President Obama's proposed stimulus package includes money ($50 million) for the National Endowment for the Arts. Robert Lynch noted in this New York Times article that "the artist’s paycheck is every bit as important as the steelworker’s paycheck or the autoworker’s paycheck.”

Mr. Lynch, I could not agree more.
