I just wanted to let all of you know that I haven't forgotten you!

A very late Merry Christmas - and I'm pretty much in time to wish you all a Happy New Year!

I will be taking a few more weeks off from writing. We have had some illness in the famiy. But don't go away - because some of my lovely and talented co-editors here at BellaOnline.com are going to be pitch-hitting for me for the next few weeks. So be sure to check in on their articles for some fresh points of view! (Hopefully you won't decide to throw me over for one of them...)

Also, Congratulations to Lynne for winning the forum trivia contest and taking home Sara Botkin's beautiful CD - just in time for Christmas!

Here's the latest article from the Classical Music site at BellaOnline.com.
