MAD PROPS TO THE SUNDAY TIMES!!

BLIMEY, guv! Bryan Appleyard has been picking the 100 best blogs for The Sunday Times and there is JDCMB, up there with the best o'th'best in the Performing Arts section! Mr Appleyard evidently has yet to discover the joys of Korngold, but what the hell - there's nothing so much fun in life as having a 'strange bias'.

Thanks to my beloved Hungarians for alerting me to this with a congratulatory email. I hadn't read the ST today because I've spent most of the morning, er, blogging. About Russian pianists.

A very happy JD is now looking forward to JDCMB'S 5TH BIRTHDAY coming up NEXT SUNDAY, 1 March. But I can't decide what to do to celebrate... Any ideas, folks?

Congratulations, Jessica.

Always nice to get recognition for one's work, eh?

PS: why not bake a huge cake for JDCMB's fifth birthday? All five-year-olds love cake ...

It is only right that a blog which has so much unmissable information and which is read by an unrivalled international glitterati should be so recognised......

Cograts guv. Well deserved. Your blog is the first thing I read after the latest football results!

This is splendid, Jessica, and perhaps timely. Maybe it is the season, but I've noticed over the past couple of weeks two bloggers who touch upon my professional interests, nothing to do with music, plus two more in the literary sphere, publicly mulling whether the blogging lark is worth it. A nice drop of recognition and appreciation encourages enormously.
