Another One Bites The Dust

I haven't given too much time to searching music blogs for the last few years, due to having several years worth of stuff still to listen to!! and not really having the time anymore.
One of the few I paid regular visits to was an oldies blog called "Lord of the boot sale" which has been running for years and owned by a guy who used to help me out with missing B sides back in the days of "Grumpy's golden oldies". But sadly that is now gone just get the message "Sorry, the blog at lordofthebootsale.blogspot.com has been removed"  :(
Hopefully he is still healthy and has just decided to call it a day, but the trouble with internet friends is you really don't know why they disappear.
