Bob's Chat

I was asked recently by how many compilations I have made so far. Well I had to check first in my backups, so I did that today and the result is:

To date I have posted a total of 1340 of my own "Bob Mac's Compilations", plus there have been 56 released albums posted, mainly as "Albums That Deserve Another Listen". So the grand total is 1396 albums and compilations shared so far.

In addition to this I presently have 260 various compilations already made up and in folders waiting their turn to appear on the blog. I have also been compiling a new 50 volume set titled "Bob's Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Playlists", these will no doubt be finished in a few months, but won't appear on the blog for a couple more years as there's so much stuff lined up ahead of them.

For the future I'll continue compiling the various "Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel" compilations as they are really the foundation of my blog. I have 130 volumes of what I call "the other genres" ready and waiting. These are the Jazz, Country/Pre-war blues, Hillbilly/Country, Rockabilly/R&R, and Soul Party compilations. Posting these at the rate of approximately 3 per week there's enough ready for another year. When they have been posted things could slow down a bit as I'm considering other options as I don't really see the point of making 500 volumes of Hillbilly & Country drinking songs, or broken hearted Soul songs. So I'll be looking into doing other things. Not quite sure yet but perhaps more detailed compilations with more information, and a bit of a write up. Some of you may remember the excellent "Be Bop Wino" blog that sadly ended 6 years ago. I would very much like to do something similar to that, though I doubt I could equal the depth and detail that Boogie Woody did. 

Anyway my friends there's lots more coming your way.
