Methods of Dance

I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of kind comments and sincere support in the wake of my departure from this blog. Through this site, I have met many wonderful people all over the world, and I’m very happy that we have become friends. Also, it is truly gratifying that my efforts have been appreciated—I hope that my posts were not only entertaining, but also occasionally enlightening.

I found it curious that a couple of visitors subscribed to the blog after the last post, perhaps thinking that the denouement was merely a ruse (more likely, they were on a different page). However, it got me thinking about ‘unfinished business’—material that I had slated to feature here, but which will remain on the shelf, as it were. Now, I’m not making any promises, but there’s a possibility that a couple of ‘holiday specials’ may appear in the near future. So maybe those folks were wise to subscribe, after all.

Despite a thoughtful request, I’ll not be compiling any more lists of favorites, although I did have a few in mind (electronic albums, disc jockeys, record labels, and influential recordings).

A couple of people commented about the ‘Share’ page, inquiring as to whether or not it would remain active. Feel free to continue corresponding with each other there, although I won’t be moderating activity.

You may find me lurking around other blogs. However, as previously mentioned, I plan to spend more time in the ‘real’ world.

Thanks again.

Sorry, but I’m clearing the dancefloor and turning off the lights now. I had hoped to make it to the site’s five year anniversary (29 December); however, my time, energy, and enthusiasm have all steadily dwindled. I need to unplug, get out of the house, and exercise more. Also, our dogs are getting up in years and I want to spend more quality time with them (oh, and my wife, too :-).

I’m very grateful to all of my fellow bloggers for sharing their own collections and musical knowledge. The most ardent and generous music fans maintain sites in that list on the left—I salute you all.

I must give special recognition to DJ Paul T. Six years ago in an older incarnation, Paul’s Burning The Ground was the first music blog that I discovered, and it inspired me to start Methods of Dance. Paul was supportive early on and gave me my first reciprocal link. Thanks Paul.

And of course, I must thank everyone out there who has contributed to my blogs, be it comments, music, or other content. A wonderful community has been cultivated here—you guys are awesome.

While the site will remain online for posterity, any still active download links will be removed on 30 September 2015.

It’s time for a rest now. Thanks again, and take care.
