\"interrupt-this-blog\"Been doing <\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span>this blog for two years.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to our major donors (commenters).\u00a0 We could have done it without you, but it wouldn’t have been as much fun.<\/p>\n

In no particular order, thanks to Marc, Jessica Schreiber, Gerald Ross<\/a>, Seth Marks, Teddy, Adrianne Greenbaum<\/a>, Bill Jones, Mark Schilling<\/a>, Harvey Kugelman, Terri Zupancic, Ellen, Susan Greene . . .<\/p>\n

\""Substandard

"Substandard paragraphs! Ten cents!"<\/p><\/div>\n

Also, a special thanks to Ralph Solonitz<\/a>, the blog’s illustrator.\u00a0 He adds a lot.\u00a0 When I write substandard paragraphs, I encourage Ralph to throw in as many pics as possible.\u00a0 Works out well.<\/p>\n

I first met<\/strong><\/span> Ralph about 20 years ago when he designed Yiddishe Cup’s logo.<\/p>\n

Several people have recently asked when they’re going to get in the blog.\u00a0 They want in!<\/p>\n

On the other hand, many more people say, “Don’t put me in your blog, whatever you do.”<\/p>\n

Google Analytics —<\/strong><\/span> a spy op — says there are “Klezmer Guy” readers in every state except South Dakota, plus many foreign countries. \u00a0(The five most popular countries are Canada, Israel, Germany, the United Kingdom and France.)<\/p>\n

Google Analytics, for your information, zeroes in on readers by their hometowns, not their names.\u00a0 For instance, somebody in Chico, California, reads this blog.<\/p>\n

Thanks for hanging in with this blog.\u00a0 Without you — the reader — I’d be writing for the drawer, which I’ve done and it’s no fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
