A year to Review

Last year I rebuilt the major music collections. This year I'm reviewing how I did and filling in the blanks. My modest Contemporary Christian Music buy circulated very well. So did Latin and Rock. Country didn't fare so well but Country Music has a huge body of work going all the way back to the 20's and I think so far I've just built the core collection. This year I'm getting more of the Billboard 'Top 40's' type of material for everybody, including Country. I'm also working on a few minor collections. I'm buying folk music from around the world and music for Ballroom Dancing. Ballroom Dancing seems to be making a comeback and I'm getting a lot of requests. January was a country 'Top 40', February was a mix of Billboard top 40's, and March is Contemporary Christian back fill.
