Monday Crack - “Cracks In Sidewalks” Takes Off
Welcome to “Cracks In Sidewalks”, an array of discoveries. I decided that the first official “Weekly Hype” should be about my own site. I am very excited and thrilled to share all this with you!
The idea of this site came into my head over a number of months and has taken many forms since it first appeared. But once it did, it was like the floodgates opened and I just couldn’t stop. Since then my head has been constantly to the ground checking out cracks in sidewalks where ever I go, and dreaming of things to write about in my sleep. I can’t begin to tell you how many new roads and discoveries I have made, good times and laughs I have already had as a result, and how many discoveries good times and laughs I hope it will bring to you.
The site is broken down into pages under the “Explore” heading. These are permanent and self explanatory, “Categories,” some of which will be daily, others weekly, some monthly, and Grishnak the Praying Mantis who stands as the site watchman. Beginning Wednesday you will find daily postings every day until Friday continuing Monday through Friday each week thereafter.
I am happy to say and very grateful that Singer/Songwriter/Recording Artist, Dana Calitri, agreed to be my first interview for my monthly magazine style interview under “In My Circle.” Next month I’ll be sharing with you my conversation with Gail Currey, who worked on such movies as “Jurassic Park” and “Pirates of the Carribean” while at Industrial Light & Magic, and is current VP/General Manager of Lucasfilm Animation.
I want to give a special thanks to Todd Kelsey who helped me with all things technical and also provided the site with its watchman, Grisnak.
So thank you for your time and have fun exploring the site! Check out some “Daily Cracks”, enjoy the “Daily Photos”, read about and listen to the “Daily Tune On” of Tim Buckley, The Boswell Sisters, Etta James and Dr. John for starters, make a Bette “Blue Blood”, grab a coffee and sit down and read about Dana Calitri and her career, find a hanky and enjoy the “Story of Zoe & Yoshi”, and please support this site by sending it to all your friends and family.
Warmest regards,
Audrey

I just “cracked” this open and found many jewels inside. Particularly enjoy the photos and the links to the musicians you write about. Thanks for sharing.

A poet at heart, I’ve written about the astounding teensy flowers that miracuously emerge thought concrete, visible in the tiniest of cracks-and the wonder of that! Your new site feels just like a flower sprouting..new, newsy, interesting, enlightening, friendly. Love your site!
