365: IT TAKES TWO (COLLABORATIONS)

Well, in the words of the aforementioned Barry Manilow (see post 69), looks like we made it. 365 posts in 365 days, for what it’s worth. Cancer has not been cured, but we have finished something we started. For this post, we thought it might be nice to collaborate, and so we have. Thanks again to anyone who paid us the slightest attention. BUT WAIT !!! usefulmusic IS ALIVE !!! We’re just having a bit of a morph. Beginning next week we’ll be back, but different than ever before! Stay tuned!
So, goodbye it is then, for now. See you next week.
usefulmusic would also like to thank each other.

So Paul ended his half-hour with a poignant tribute to dual collaboration, and I ended mine with the greatest posse cut of all time. It takes a village to big-up oneself, you know. But wait, you might say, your total running time falls short of the 59-61 minute mark that you promised way back in who-knows-when! Well, as Marie Antoinette may or may not have said: “Always leave them wanting more.” Therefore (but conversely), we will be back next week, but with only a weekly post each (unless there is an internet clamor for us do more or to give up entirely). But wait, you might say, what will these subsequent posts be about?!? Well, interrobanger, you’ll just have to wait and see…
