Due to some issues with the printing integration in the shop and a fundamental disagreement with bluehost on what support actual entails, I had to wipe the site and, unfortunately, did not have a viable backup of the contents.
I do have several sources where I may be able to salvage some of my lost posts and maybe a few pages, so if you see posts popping up with a date earlier than this post, they’re reposts. But there is still a bunch of stuff I will have to either rebuild (eg the Tune of the Month page, the fiddle tune pages, and the page where I talked about my dog, Mario), or be resigned to losing (eg the page where I talked about all of my different instruments).
Regardless of what state you find this site in, welcome! It’s always good to meet new friends.
