I want to thank everyone who has read my blog this year and the last few years.
I started this blog in September of 2017 and I have learned a lot from reading your blogs and interacting with you all. It was cool to find fellow Big Star, Beatle, Who, Twilight Zone, Baseball, Jazz, Classical, Power Pop, Rock, Hard Rock, Folk, Old Country, Surf, Classic TV, Classic Movie, 1970s, fans…. and everything in between.
In 2016 I would not have believed I would be communicating with people in different states across America, New Zealand, The UK, Hong Kong, Germany, Columbia, Australia, India, France, Sweden, Spain, and more! I’m also learning more about new music, old new music, cool old and new movies, and most of all…people. I probably comment too much at times but it’s a lot of fun learning.
Now…I want to mention a few I follow and read and they come and visit me also. I was hesitant to do this because I know I will miss someone …if I did it wasn’t on purpose.
I’ve commented with you all, emailed many of you, talked to some of you over the phone, and met one of you. Thank you all once again.
I didn’t know where New Zealand was until I started to talk to Bruce and Graham …after talking them I would love to visit there.
I’ve learned about Australia and Columbia…and classical music from Matt,
