Things.

So, I got married. That was one thing. It took awhile. And there was work. Etc., etc.

Another thing was that I started a post on the Gnawa and realized I knew next to nothing about them that couldn't be found in liner notes or on the web. From my point of view, if you're gonna post something, go ahead and post something. So, I bought a book on the Gnawa, and, let me tell you, I ain't read it yet. And I'm gonna, but, hey, the Gnawa ain't goin' nowhere.

Africa, however, waits for no man. I re-upped BBC's Story of Africa special here:
