New Sheriff in Town
We’re happy to report that inSync has a new editor effective with this Monday’s issue. Dan Hoeye has actually been writing a substantial part of inSync for the past several months and now it’s time for him to take the reigns. But don’t worry, your trusty inSync editor for the past five and a half years – David Stewart – is still here and still watching over and caring for his baby. Think of me now as an “Executive Editor” or “Executive Director” or some such nonsense (It’s kind of like an executive of a sports team: No one is quite sure what he does… I get to walk around and say things like, “Just win baby!”…er…I guess that would be, “Just write baby!”). Actually I’ll still be writing some of inSync for the foreseeable future as well as doing a lot of the same editing I’ve done from the beginning; and given that Dan has been contributing for many months now you’ll likely not notice much of a change. So, with that in mind, we’ll see you Monday for more fun.
Musically Yours,
David Stewart
