The December issue of Victory Review is in the stands!. When not the stands exactly. When it was an in print magazine it was given away at northwest folk events and stores, or mailed by subscription. It's the magazine of Victory Organization the Northwest acoustic music organization. Victory has been promoting folk, bluegrass, jazz and other music for years. I have two CD reviews in this issue and I hope to be able to provide them more for the next issue. Of course there are a lot of reviewers these days. Here is the link:

Greetings to New Readers
Greetings to new readers I am getting from St. Blog's Parish and Catholic Blogs. This is a blog about the arts, primarily the ones I am most interested in: folk music, poetry and film, but other arts as seems good to me at the time. I am, it's no secret Catholic, and some of my posts will be from a uniquely Catholic perspective, while others will be broader in theme and content. I can't of course in an arts blog talk a lot about how my faith affects other aspects of life, but you can find some of that in my Roomin' House Blues blog. http://roominhouseblues.blogspot.com/
I welcome and value all my readers and encourage all of you to leave comments. C.S. Lewis once told a young man that we read so that we know we are not alone. I have said many times, accordingly, that we write so that others know they are not alone. I follow the old round table tradition of the Catholic Worker movement, which I am quite attracted to, and try to make sure that everyone has there say. I live for the day when I check on of my posts and find there are twenty comments. It isn't just for me. It's for building community. A one sentence comment can encourage the next reader to add something to the mulligan stew of conversation. (That's another Catholic Worker tradition, to always have a pot of stew on the stove that everyone could add to, to feed the guests of the hospitality houses. It comes from the old hobo camps, which had the hospitality of the poor that Steinbeck so well described in Grapes of Wrath) So leave a comment so the next guy has more to chew on.
One thing you can comment on here, if you wish, is any arts events, music, poets, etc you would like me to write about. Or go ahead and provide links to some of those things on the internet. Unless things are completely inappropriate, I am not inclined to remove them. Thanks for your readership.
