I will sorely miss that exchange, and am forever grateful / greatful that you took time to read the blog. See you soon, I hope. <br /><br />--GrtstnDAN / DANIEL GUTSTEINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440571794661801261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371137905089559599.post-34966442748275847692014-11-05T11:32:51.910-08:002014-11-05T11:32:51.910-08:00The proemtorial hybrid form evolved in B.A.G. was ...The proemtorial hybrid form evolved in B.A.G. was necessary feedback on hundreds of confusing situations, not just the minor irritants - inadequate beer pours, New Yorker poems, banana casseroles - but also the big stuff - many iterations of David v. Goliath. One "must" read Truthout but one "wants" to read B.A.G. One wants to smile.

I sure hope we have improvisations in our future -- I've been grateful for the opportunity to hear you and Mike (and others) play, and for the opportunity to participate in the Lost Civilizations project. I'm confident that we shall do it again soon. Meantime, I will look forward to hanging out again in the near future.

According the "Blogger" stats -- the blog has never been more popular; a good time, therefore, to "go out on top."<br /><br />While I'll stop short of saying "never another post", it will be at least a long while before I return. When I do, it may be here, at B.A.G., or a different blog project. My deep, sincere gratitude to people who have taken time to read this blog over the years: thank you!<br /><br />Love, Dan GutsteinDAN / DANIEL GUTSTEINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440571794661801261noreply@blogger.com
