Performance: Pied Beauty

[artsyhonker]

I found a performance of my work in the wild, so to speak: 24th April 2016 at the Lutheran Church of Honolulu.

Thoughts:

--I need to be noting the performances of my work that I do find out about in a more systematic fashion
--Many of them I only find out about by searching for my name. Is there a bot that can do this once a month? How do I set up such a thing, for free and with basically no tech knowledge?
--Sometimes I find out about these things beofrehand, in which case I generally try and get in touch with the director of music (or whoever) and thank them for performing my work. Is this still okay when it's months later? (I'm leaning toward yes...)

Google has "google alerts" which lets you set up a bot to email you every time your name (or any other phrase you decide to track) is mentioned in a new place on the internet. Free and easy to use.

(It's possible google alerts require a gmail account, I'm not sure.)

Thanks -- potentially useful, but as my name is Kathryn Rose there's likely to be quite a lot of cruft in there. I'll have a play with it and see whether it helps, though.
