Year 9 turned out to be as tough as year 8. Posting has been sporadic without the regularity of a radio show and there was a long stretch in both the Fall & Spring where it must have seemed like I had given up. Even when I’m not posting, Melting Pot is always on my mind, and I continue to collect records that I could and should share here regularly. I’m gonna do my best to stay regular and create a routine that fits into my teaching schedule (which will be back to Tu/Th instead of Mon-Thu, a subtle difference that works better for my mental health and weekly routine, even if getting home earlier the last couple of years has been nice) s that I can get back to sharing as much music as I’d love to. There still remains SO MUCH music out there, it truly never ends, and I’m looking forward to digging deep over the next twelve months as a eventually arrive at a decade of Melting Pot…Onwards and Upwards my peoples!!!
