Meet my class mate

Ben Tausig is my colleague in the first year ethnomusicology class at NYU. He is great to work with, and a lovely friend, and I thought this article on him in the Brooklyn Record was a good opportunity to introduce him to you. When he isn't being an ethnomusicology grad student, he sets crossword puzzles for a whole list of newspapers. And he has a book of puzzles coming out in May. I saw the proofs the other day, and it looks wonderful!
