BTW, Gaiman is back on BlueSky, with an "exoneration" written by some anonymous "journalist" on Substack. Might want to make sure you're not still following him from before the mask came off. I've got him actively blocked now.

Neil Gaiman has come out from under his rock, to the relief of the innocent creepy crawlies living there. If you already blocked him, please check you aren’t still following him. Unfollow first, then block, or else you’re still following.

Today I re-record "Ave Maria" and "The Trumpet Shall Sound" as well as "River" (bc I messed up the lyrics). This will Be It.
I am pretty sanguine now that I've lowered the classical pieces a half step. Run-throughs have been good.
Wish me luck!
