Work review

Ouch--a long time since I last published. Here's an update on projects that were on the go in November:

2. Eros paper - need to send editor the revised version.
3. Review of Courtesan's Arts for JSMI - still doing this....
4. Review for M&L Contacted them to tell the truth which was that I didn't remember agreeing to do the review in the first place.
5. Revise Castellino paper to send to Linda, and to Libby (over summer)
6. That dang sprezzatura piece (quite very urgent now)
7. Entry on gender in Irish pop for EMIR (negotiate new deadline) - withdrew since there is not enough scholarship on the area to draw upon.
8. Paper on female vocality & dialect song (find out about conf proceedings for Angels & Devils)
9. Conference version of friendship paper (by Aug 11). Done, given; went OK. Probably giving another version in May.
