JACK Report: You Can't Buy Better Publicity Than A Feature in the New York Times

Son Number Two and fellow violinist playing with JACK

I've been eagerly checking Google for a week now, looking for the feature I knew was coming in the New York Times about JACK Quartet, the group of talented young musicians of which Son Number Two is a part. I usually go buy several of the newspapers when they run a review of JACK, which they frequently do, just for the archives. Finally, last night, the article showed up on-line. But, alas, the print version was published the day before, on Thursday, and all of those papers are off the shelves. I am tempted to go to the library and smuggle a copy out in my briefcase. Read the article here. It is very flattering and it even mentions the expected arrival of my new grandson in several weeks. The photographs are from the NYT and hopefully this acknowledgment gives me permission to post them. If not, and the Times notices, I may have to take them down.

Put out the word on Facebook. Maybe some of your friends have Thursday's paper and will give you their copy. Worth a try.

Good idea, Catch, but unfortunately the article isn't in the print version of the edition that is printed in the Midwest. I went to the library (no scissors in my pocket) and looked all through the Times versions printed Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and today. It simply isn't there. One of the commenters on the JACK website says it's in Sunday's paper. So, I'll head off bright and early tomorrow morning to see if I can find it.

Mystery solved. According to the on-line article it was (actually, will be) published on September 5, 2010, on page AR17 of the New York edition. I'll be at Walgreen's bright and early tomorrow morning.
