Dear Augur Bit Editors,
Margaret Blomstrom’s Oct. 16th article about this year’s performances at Art All Night breathes life, yet again, into that most wicked descriptor. In my last letter, I had hoped that future articles in The Augur Bit would take greater care to avoid such disparaging adjectives, and now such a heinous word has been applied to my own playing. Such a direct and deliberate assault is disheartening and might beg the question, “Where is the DCC when you need them?”
I still greatly appreciate the coverage and attention, and the GDS performances at Jackson-Reed were, indeed, stellar. I am a proud teacher of creative and talented sophomores who take advantage of every opportunity to connect with an audience.
Sincerely,
Brad Linde
