housekeeping_thumbA confab with our redoubtable Internets Guru Nick Scholl just now resulted in two innovations. First, for those of you who want a quick and handy way to keep up with recent comments, there is now a comments feed button in the left navigation bar just beneath the display of the most recent mots from the cher public. You can click on it to see the last 20 comments, or else subscribe to the feed and keep up that way. 

Second, and in the broad view surely far more important, there is now a term to refer to a single member of the cher public, other than “member of the cher public.”  A hint:

Cher Pube!

La Cieca

James Jorden (who wrote under the names "La Cieca" and "Our Own JJ") was the founder and editor of parterre box. During his 20 year career as an opera critic he wrote for the New York Times, Opera, Gay City News, Opera Now, Musical America and the New York Post. He also raised his voice in punditry on National Public Radio. From time to time he directed opera, including three unsuccessful productions of Don Giovanni. He also contributed a regular column on opera for the New York Observer. James died in October 2023.
