Everybody bitches about cultural appropriation. But you know, bite me. Because what it really is is cultural cross-pollination and it's where everything important to art, architecture, music, science, and language comes from. Think of it as cultural endosymbiosis. Thanks for all you do Ted!

Interdisciplinary research in the humanities is where my heart is for this right here: “Relentless digging into primary sources (usually outside of the music field) that my peers had never even considered consulting”. These are why your articles are so fascinating to me. Lush in perspectives, backed with research & data, anecdotes from your interesting background as an accomplished musician, and most of all: empathy. Thank you, Prof Gioia!
