October Surprise.

Ops! I'm way behind in my blogging!


Don't give up on me I'm still doing it but I'm just way too far behind. I have a music buy that I just sent in for October that many people may be interested in. I've been filling in the classic Rock collection, Bluegrass, and Rhythm & Blues. Recently I've bought some extreme metal and since my previous two rock buys were classic rock up to the 1989 and number one hits to 1989 I never went very far into Grunge so hopefully I've filled in that gap. I've also missed out on the Bluegrass end of Country Music and so I just picked up on Alison Kraus and Union Station. I know this is quick but here's my list.

God Bless America - the Ultimate Patriotic Album I needed this one for reference. It's got all the Service Hymns.
