Thanks to all of you who visit this site, My Big Gay Ears surpassed 5,000 hits today. That’s since launching in late September 2009.
But only 13 comments?? Come on folks, let’s get some conversation going!
I invite you to consider this posting an open forum for ideas and suggestions on how to build on the site, help promote out musicians, and encourage new talents — or whatever else you think MyBigGayEars could accomplish. On a day to day basis I guess my main goal is to provide something good to read and enjoyable to look at. Help me keep track of the bigger picture. After extensive searches I’ve concluded there is no other site covering GLTB artists in classical music. Tell me – is it it’s worth doing?
If you think everybody’s out and it’s just no big deal, I’d like to hear that too. But please read my essay Why Gay Ears? about the struggles of trying to get certain gay and lesbian musicians to be out in print. Also check out Theresa Bogard’s comments on being out in Wyoming. Speaking of the hinterlands, I’m always looking to feature out performers and composers who don’t live New York or San Francisco, so feel free to introduce yourself.
Again, thanks for your support and let me hear from you!
