Press Release - Breaking News

Andrew Michael's agent, Monty Panesar says that Andrew is "resolute in his determination to avoid blog death."

"My hiatus from blogging reminds me rather of the defect in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes from the thorax into the abdomen. This is called an esophageal hiatus. A great deal of speculation has arisen recently in the press about whether or not I would continue writing my blog. Lay your worries aside. I am back."

Monty Panesar says Andrew wishes everyone a Happy New Year full of mystery and delight.

JW's effort to make music participatory rather than performance-based struck a chord with Crouch, who also signaled his awareness that JW is rooted in its own particular neighborhood and could not be easily replicated elsewhere: "It made me want to move to Kansas City. Really."
