I started blogging about entertainment on syracuse.com in 2003. That blog morphed into Idol Thoughts , a blog that I continue to maintain. I have also been covering local entertainment and sports for the site in the evening since December 2006. Recently, however, the parent company eliminated all of the contracting positions and I am suddenly left without an outlet.

So, effective February 25, I am bringing Music in the ‘Cuse to Today.com. We’ll try it out and see how it goes! If you’re looking for something to do in CNY, look no further! Hopefully, this blog will become a resource. Spread the word. Music in the ‘Cuse is coming soon!
