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

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic27 Comments

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!

My One Year Blogiversary!!

Wow!!  I can not believe it has been one year already.  The time has definitely flown by and has been an absolute blast.  I never thought I would last very long and so it is hard to believe I am still writing weekly and still enjoying even more now then when I started.

I have met so many interesting people through the blog world and have found some amazing sites.  I do wish there was more time in the day to visit every site that is following me and that I am following, but have found that task to be impossible.  Please know I do try my best to at visit as often as I am able.

The year has been a roller coaster of a ride.  Where the blog has been a blessing and some of the high points, life has dealt me a few blows this year with the passing of my Mom back in August and my Dad just two weeks ago.  The loss of them has been difficult, but the blog has been my way of escaping the harsh realities of life.

One person I need to thank for the blog is my lovely wife, Angie!!  She talked me into doing a blog and without her support, I wouldn’t be doing this still.  She has put up with the time it takes away from her and the girls, the loud music and my constant blabbering about the site and other sites I have visited.  She is definitely my Rock!!
