Boss Radio

Long time passing...

I just thought I'd check through some of the old friends I made on here back when I first joined. I looked up half a dozen of them before I started getting depressed. They've all gone. One's vanished off the face of the Earth, all the rest - bar one - have simply abandoned their blogs. The odd one out has at least left an explanation as to why he was leaving.

I don't know why, but I find it a sobering thought. Real life friendships may also disappear, but not like they do over the internet. I don't think anyone has vanished out of my real life without any kind of warning or follow up.

I just hope those who find romance over the 'net have real life luck with their affairs.

Meanwhile I just checked my stats and was astounded to find how many people chanced upon my blogs whilst Googling for other things. I don't know know how many stopped to read, but hundreds of people had at least visited in the space of one hour. I decided to check on some of their searches and in one case only 20 minutes prior to my checking someone had searched for the exact title of one of my blogs and I was first in the list, a little earlier down the list I was in 2nd place, but mostly I was several pages back. You have to marvel at the perseverance of these people. I seldom make it past page 2.

So welcome anyone who's arrived here after searching for the 50s/60s folk/protest song based upon the traditional Ukrainian folk song 'Tovchu, tovchu mak' and the first three verses of which were written by Pete Seeger, the later verses being added later by Joe Hickerson which turned it into a 'circular' song.

And I just hope those who've left here didn't do so under the impression that no one was reading their blogs...
