Thank you for reposting the Mel Tormé Xmas story. I enjoyed it very much and shared it with many friends. I can well believe it is the most popular thing you have posted on your blog but I have a question. What do you think has been the second-most popular thing you have posted on your blog?
Probably my story about Larry Hagman. Also, I got an unbelievable number of hits on several of the pieces I posted about Johnny Carson upon his death but that was because several huge news sites linked to them.
But I don't track this kind of thing very closely so I can't give you any sort of real breakdown. I think I'd rather not know that a given post was or was not very popular. That's another of the many reasons I don't take paid advertising. If you do, you have to pay attention to that sort of thing.
