Happy New Years Eve. Another wonderful year of fantastic finds and I really can't wait to see what kind of digging 2025 brings.
A few years ago I referenced how I am searching for evidence if one of Tommy's 45's was actually released in the USA as it is listed in his discography. I finally found the Tommy Roe letter I wrote so I thought why not end the year with some sweet sounds and a picture of the letter and autograph. The search continues.
In the meantime, I thought I would run down some numbers for this blog this year. I have done that in the past but I had some lean years when I did not post much. This year was my best year for posting! I missed one day and I really don't know why (February 3rd). It was a leap year so it still looks like I hit every day...lol. I am engerized by posting daily and I look forward to hitting every day this past year.
First off, the Music Feed website now has my blog as #10 of the 30 best Obscure Music Blogs so I have lost some footing. I find that intersesting as I post daily but maybe because I really don't post on any other social media platform and promote it. I'm not really intersested in Twitter X and crap like that...if I have to start plastering this blog all over I may lose interest again. Now for the stats.

Interesting to see what’s the most viewed!! Enough people have seen the Jerry Holmes though, so I think it’s time to sell it to me 😁 I still have to go back and view your really old posts too so some of those might climb further! happy new year!
If I ever run into another one you know it is yours! That 45 appears to be on that the music links are not there. I uploaded both sides but not together...why?????
