Don't Call It A Comeback

OK internet... I've been away from this here blogging thing for about two years and I guess I'll jump back into it... cautiously. Many of my friends have asked what was the cause for my blogging absence. Well, time has passed and I suppose I can share it now. Back in 2009 a company had taken the MP3s from my blog post (which I had dubbed from my own vinyl copies), used my blog information and rewrote their own accompanying notes, and then issued it as a CD which is sold on Amazon for $20. When I contacted the company about it, they told me it had nothing to do with my blog and that the song overlap was a coincidence. I later found out that the jacket sleeve in fact cites my blog as a source of info and the inspiration of the CD. I was upset at the time! I felt as though I should have been contacted and consulted before any such project went into production. And that was only my 2nd blog post ever... So I stopped blogging. Now it's almost four years later, there's lots of exciting stuff happening in my world, and I feel like I just need to get over it and make a second effort to connect with the world. So here goes. A simple blog entry to say, hello again world. There will soon be many more blog entries. I hope they are of interest to the masses...
