Music Odyssey
 
Right out there in my Fortress of Solitude (once a garage) over 20, 000 CD's/records/tapes, started collecting in the 60's. It's all there, country, blues, oldies, Jazz, Bluebrass, Funk, Punk, Reggae, R&B, etc etc, so would love to share what took me over 50 years to accumulate.

Welcome to Journaltown! :thumb:
Just a suggestion: maybe you might like to write a few lines about these songs/albums, how you purchased them, what they mean to you and so on? It's just that a bunch of videos isn't really going to attract too many people to your journal, though of course if you want to go that way that's up to you; but I tend to look on a journal as a way to talk to people about my music, maybe (once, long ago, long given up now) try to get them into it, or at least explain what it is I like (or don't like) about it.

It makes it more interesting, both for the reader and for you as a writer. If you really have that big a collection, surely there are many facts and stories you can share with us?

I've been journalling here for about 10 years, on and off, and it's become obvious to me over the years that the journals that get the most interest are, well, the interesting ones. You need to keep people's attention and draw them in, give them something to come back for.

Meh, maybe you're happy doing this as you are. Just a thought and some well-meaning advice from someone who knows his way around this section.

Best of luck anyway.

That first verse gets me ever time and then it gets better.

Thanks for the welcome and advice, appreciate it.:beer:

Wasn't real sure what to do with this other than toss out some stuff seeing if anyone had an opinion on the music. Kind of doing it backwards, ha!!!!

Got it now, so once again...thanks!

Little Willie John, the classic...what could have been. Due to a bad temper and alcohol/drug abuse he never enjoyed where his talent could have taken him. He would die in prison from pnuemonia, was there for killing a man, manslaughter. But was in and out of trouble prior to that.

Speaking of a clsssic....
