10 Years of 2 Loud 2 Old Music!! But is it the End?

Today marks the 10th Anniversary of 2 Loud 2 Old Music and I can’t believe it has been that long already. What a ride it has been. I’ve met some incredible people, interviewed some incredible people and it has simply been incredible, people! I have written around 2,800 posts, had 2.7 million views, 1.3 million visitors and spent countless hours and dollars buying and listening to music…then writing about it.

What started out as a comment from my wife 10 years ago…she said “You need a hobby!! Start a blog”. And bam!! 2 Loud 2 Old Music was born. My passion for music found a home and my collecting obsession began. Not only did I write about music, I found people that did the same in this WordPress community. For some strange reason, the people I found were almost entirely Canadian at first. I guess because they are the nicest people, but I found other fellow Americans, then some Brits, Aussies and people from all over the world. It has been really cool.

The website got a logo, some merch, I even started a YouTube channel. It has all become a lot. With all that being said…has the time come to end 2 Loud 2 Old Music?

Maybe for a little while. I am going to go on a brief hiatus for about 3 months as we are getting the house ready to sell and I have to pack away The Collection. With showing the house, packing and moving to a different state, things are going to be hectic and I need to put this aside for awhile. If that wasn’t enough, my oldest daughter is getting married this year too. And there is a very special project I have been working on that I want to finish…almost there and I need to focus on that too. Can’t do it all. It is crazy around these parts!

I’ll still pop on and read some posts from my favorite sites. I’m even going to try and continue the Friday New Release posts as I know my regular readers love it and so do I…not putting it together, but knowing what is coming out so I can add to the The Collection.

I hope to be back soon, but you never know what the future holds. All I can say is thank you for stopping by and reading all I had to say. Your support and comments have meant a lot and kept me going. Signing off for now, wish you all the best during my absence, but I don’t think the party is over yet, just put on hold.

See you soon!
