I’d like to direct your attention to this story I just published in The New York Times. It’s about Scott Joplin, Irving Berlin, early American pop music, and the differences between art as a business and art as a purely personal pursuit.

This story has it all, I tells ya!

    Just read your story, which makes me wish I were in New York right now. Looks like a fantastic play. And I really like Michael Boatman.
