Welcome Paradoxers!
This blogspot will be our new home to share updates on everyone's new cd's, links to music venues, and other activities.
You can also post remembrances, photos, and any other memorabilia you would like to share. It would be great if this could become like an archive for the Paradox -- then and now.
More information to follow as I figure this out. In the meantime, please add your comments and keep the site alive and growing.

Still life with guitar
Beautiful show of Picasso's work, if you like that sort of thing:
Canadian luthiet Linda Manzer is making actual playable guitars that look a bit like that. Pat Metheny owns a couple.
Listen. I've got youtube and google myself, and a stack of friends on Facebook serving me up URLs. What I don't have is any idea what's going on in your lives, and that's what I care about. That's why I signed onto this. Blogs stand or fall on what people are willing to share about themselves.
This one has degenerated into a kind of sterile, "Hey, look at this."
Nice to see you here, Sherry. Always good to speak up if you want to keep the site alive and growing!
Also happy to read that you enjoyed the guitar slide show. According to the story that goes along with it, Picasso's guitars were considered revolutionary and even disturbing:
"People got angry. When the Parisian arts journal Les Soirées de Paris ran a photograph of one of Picasso’s sculptural guitars constructed from paperboard and string, furious letters came in; subscriptions were canceled."
