It would start with a ...

Alright, for the past month to six weeks I have been in "next week I'll start it mode" and putting "it" off to the point where Thursday was cutoff day.. What is "it?"...  It is the Rhino Rock Box video entries.. For the longest time I have been thinking I would do it, but then I just thought better of it.. Then Thursday I thought I would check into starting the entries, the worst that could happen is I decided not to do them anymore.. Then of course I started to do the entry and realized I wanted to do this.. The music being the deciding factor.. The old rock & roll being the deciding factor.. The first disc is old rock from the very earliest of the rock & roll music form.. Is the entire box rock & roll??  It is rock & roll with some being forms of rock, soul, blues, rhythm & blues.. A really nice collection, and a good lot of it is of the one hit wonder variety, and some not mainstream.. The one box set I didn't get was the heavy metal or hard rock set that would have included groups like KISS and Deep Purple.. The reason is I had everything by these groups that I wanted, and that was on that set.. I really don't like redundancy as you will see in this set where two sets overlapped in the Nuggets and Frat Rock box sets.. This video project was slated to run through the summer and I thought it would be nice to have it do exactly that, and then I realized that each disc in the box set represents a four disc set and are the best songs from that set.. So they will each get at least three entries which is three weeks.. So the entire video project will last at least through the rest of the year, if not overlap into next year by quite a bit.. Then the ESSENTIALS box set, an original set designed by me, could be set after that which could take us to a year from now until these sets are completed.. Then the music entries would be done??  I'm sure I'll have more ideas.. Let the music play..

What music does the Rhino boxes represent??  I was thinking of this earlier and have thought of it ever since .. getting all of them.. And the music represents the and part of my taste.. To me the bricks in my taste in music is the hard hitting heavies such as groups like KISS and Rush and the Stones and most mainstream groups (Pink Floyd).. The groups that are the bricks in the house.. The groups that support these is the ones represented in these box sets.. Some groups are more than a one hit wonder, some had big careers and some were huge in other countries as will be evident when I do the Nuggets II set and the Brit Box as well... The mortar that holds my music collection together as it were is found in these box sets, and non box sets.. What an interesting trip it will be..  Let the music do the talking.. Check it out, listen with an open mind.. This is rock & roll..
