Now, I had just returned from Berlin on a vacation trip a few days earlier, and the Berlin of 1926 bore scant resemblance to the Berlin of today. I recognized a few of the subway stations, but that was about it.

You're going way out of your way to find nits to pick with our guest, cut it out. I wrote the italicized bio that precedes the body of this blog post, not Mr. Sublette. It's not a "resume," it's a blog post. The man lives in New York and writes about a specific place, and spends a lot of time there -- nothing incongruous about noting that. @Maddy, that’s a fussy and rude thing to say.

I read down further and saw he wrote a book about NO, which is worth noting, but I can't imagine giving me blogger cred as "travels often to Canal Winchster" ... “and travels often to New Orleans” is one of the weirder resume highlights I’ve heard.

And, of course, I greatly enjoyed seeing that the city is coming back to life. Music is the perfect lens through which to view the rich cultural life that is NOLA and I look forward to The Year Before the Flood. Thank you for posting the above intro section.
