The headline is a little on the click-bait side. I’m not going anywhere. I’m not shutting down this blog or my website myvinylcountdown.com.
But I am giving everyone a heads- up that I will within the next seven days publish the last three reviews of my vinyl record collection.
I counted 678 records when I began the blog in 2017 after getting the diagnosis that I had Lewy body dementia. Right now I am at 675. The blog was a way for me to spread awareness of the disease, which has no cure and its cause is unknown.
Likely I will write a story highlighting the best-of or most popular posts and other things I learned.
But raising awareness wasn’t the only benefit.
Spoiler alert: I will proclaim and explain my belief that without this blog, I would either be deceased or in much worse condition than I am now.
To say the blog has been therapeutic is a big understatement.
More soon.
I was happy to read today’s column, Mike. Glad you put ol’ Red John in his place. What a bugger! Also tickled to see the countdown end on the greatest album by one of my Top 5 favorite bands of all time. I was mistaken for ZZ Top’s drummer at one of their shows several years ago, but that’s another story. Well done, Mike. You’re gonna be a fantastic Grandaddy.
Great to hear from you JD, glad it ended on a good one for you — zztop’s tore it up, esp on that album. Meanwhile I still have DP on heavy rotation.
Great content! Keep up the good work!
Thank you. stay tuned, more to come.
Maybe your next blog should be about the newspaper industry
Gosh I wouldn’t know where to start,
