Above my desk I keep a post-it with some things I really ought to write about, at some point. It's starting to grow out of hand, so I'll abstract it here in case it gets lost and I'm starved for ideas. All are, more or less, rabbit holes I've fallen down at some point or other. For example:
-Kansas City jazz ca. 1920
-Stanford's Three Motets
-the music at Benediction
-Musical Fakes pt. 3 and 4: John of Portugal and T.L de Victoria
-Caterine van Hemessen
-van der Weyden (not sure I remember what this idea was about anymore!)
-gospel motets
-the history of the death penalty
-Hellmaws in medieval art
-the use of surplices in American choirs
-a poem attr. Murice
-immigration in new England
-Catholic church statistics
-Lewis Hine photos
-the name Kuykendal
-the duchess of Buccleuch
Some of these ideas are from just the last few days; others I've been itching to report on for a year now. One day, one day...
