Hello! My name is Marc Joseph Rosenthal. I’m a fanatical fan of music, writing and art. I’ve been performing, recording and releasing my own songs, using the name Milton for the past 10 years. I decided to start a blog where I can write about anything I find interesting to write about. My guess is that these posts will be mostly short writings about classic recordings or musicians that I admire, but we’ll see. If I hear something or see something that really strikes me on the contemporary scene, I’ll be sure to write about it. I might also write about topics far outside the world of music & art. I really don’t know. Come on back and we’ll find out.

Hello Marc Joseph Rosenthal and I’m I big fan of your music! At some point, I’d like an autograph if that’s possible. Good luck with your blog; I’ll continue to follow you.
Btw, I also started a blog a couple o’ years ago and I think I’ve only written three blogs. For me, it’s very difficult for me to keep it going. See ‘ya, etb.
Hi there…love your music, I’m the guy from Maine who talked with you at Club Passim and then at your gig in Maine when you opened for Eilen Jewell. When will a new Milton album come out? (and thanks to Vin Scelsa’s Idiots delight for introducing me to your music). Like you, I love music of many types, these days, the “Americana” genre is what I listen to most..but there’s always room for classics- Bruce, Dead..Allmans, and the next generation- Tedeschi Trucks Band…Wilco, Jayhawks as well..I’m now reading Peter Guralnick’s “Sweet Soul Music”, a great history of southern and other soul… Since I live in Maine, its not easy to see you play, but I am alsways trying to figure it out when I get your gig notices…In any case, enjoying the blog too.

Hey Randy!
Good to hear from you. Thanks for checking in. I read Peter Guralnick’s “Sweet Soul Music”. I really enjoyed it. I also really recommend his book “I Feel Like Goin’ Home” about various blues and blues-oriented musicians. I’m working on a new Milton album now. You’ll see more info about in on my website and on the mailing list soon. I hope to get back up to Maine when it’s time to go out on the road and promote this record. I look forward to seeing you then if not before. I always take the band to the Berkshires for shows in the summertime. Maybe you could come down to one of those. All the best and happy listening/reading!
