I rarely do my once prevalent multi-release TAPSheet posts any more. They take up a huge block of my time, which, as I age, I find more and more precious for my own use. I have 18 years devoted to MusicTAP, a feat I’m well proud of. Soon, I will pass the mantle on to another, who I have every faith in the world to keep MusicTAP a valuable resource to you, the reader.
It’s never been my goal to be first with news, or to compete with other sites like TAP. I have always had an immense love for music of all kinds. I just present what is provided to me (these days) by sources. And by what new music I discover that I feel a need to pass on. Regardless, I haven’t done a TAPSheet other than for single releases in such a long time. But I’ll do one today with one difference: I won’t search out and use album covers except for a few With that, I may end up doing more of these type posts (unless you don’t like them). I do, at times, have to apologize for my obscurities and diversities.
