Hi, Tune-Up fans.  Yankette here.

As you’ve no doubt ascertained by now, I’m going on vacation.  I’m going on vacation imminently.  I’m going on vacation….tomorrow.  

In order to fully embrace being on vacation, I don’t plan on using any electronic devices.  I’m turning my phone off.  I’m putting an away message on my work email AND my personal email.  I don’t want anything to remind me of the world if I can help it.

But I can’t leave you all in the lurch!  Talk about bad form.  So I have enlisted the help of someone who’s knowledge of music and ability to talk about it far surpasses my own.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…my father.

I have a number of guest contributors lined up so this will be the first of many such times you’ll get to hear from other music lovers like yourself.  I hope you’ll give Daddy-o a warm welcome, as warm as a bunch of strangers from around the world can give over the Internet.  …Right.
