I managed to get the post up just before starting my sabbatical from work and embarking on my long road trip up to Alaska.  Since my return, following a couple of weeks taken to recharge and recover, I resumed work on my other long-term projects with the aim of returning to the \"Ghosts\" series in a couple of weeks.  Those couple of weeks have, without my ever intending them to, extended to over three months.  I have been at work gathering historical materials and following up on a couple of leads, but overall I have been focusing heavily on getting all my other in-progress tasks out of the pipeline - clearing the table, so to speak.  Vintage photo galleries, research on a few historical DFW sites, working on my long-delayed road trip travelogues, and, notably, finally getting some business cards created, have been my main priorities since returning from Alaska.  But now it's time to get back to work on the \"Ghosts\" series.  If all goes according to plan, I hope to edit and post about half a dozen more entries over the next few months, and to wrap up the entire series by the end of 2024.  I'm also strongly considering making an eventual print edition of the completed project, which would not only allow me to expand upon a few things that were left out of the online posts, but also to update the overall text with additional information I've gathered since the original versions went up on the site.  I have a potential cover image and design already put together as a proof of concept, and I have some ideas on whom I would like to tap for a potential foreword.  This won't happen until sometime in 2025 if I do indeed proceed with the idea.  In the meantime, be on the lookout for new series installments in the coming days.  I'm waiting to hear back from a few sources and have found new wells to tap for memorabilia, so fingers crossed.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The last post in my \"Ghosts of DFW Music History\" series was on April 30th, a full 3 1\/2 months ago.
