<br />
It is quite a process "starting over."<br />
<br />
For the purposes of this blog, the relevant result of the fire is that my entire music collection - CDs, LPs, and digital files - were destroyed. My wife, bless her heart, did manage to grab my iPod, which has several thousand tracks on it.<br />
<br />
However, the digital photographs of the nearly 2000 LP covers I had taken were lost when my computers and external hard drives were destroyed.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, for some purpose I cannot now recall, I had emailed my working spreadsheet (Excel file) to myself a while back. I believe it is complete; i.e., I do not think I had added any new items to it subsequent to sending it to myself.<br />
<br />
So, I have the list! But I do not have the pictures of the actual albums. Henceforth, I will need to find an alternate source for the LP cover art when I get back to this blog and continue its development.<br />
<br />
Please be patient. In terms of priorities, this blog (and my others, as well) is pretty far down on the list.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I hope to be back at it as soon as I can.<br />

this was the Imperials' twenty-seventh (27th) album.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Imperials were (are!) a gospel institution.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Together for over fifty years,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they have had personnel changes over that span,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but they are still going strong.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their latest recording: "Still Standing" (2010).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Heed the Call" includes several enjoyable, inspirational tracks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Released in 1983,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this was actually Michael Bolton's third (3rd) studio LP.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was his first recording with Columbia,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and his first recording using his stage name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His previous recordings had been under his</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
given name - Michael Bolotin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, for all you music snobs out there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who 'sniff' and look askance</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at this artist,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I say, "Give him a chance."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take a closer look at his story</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and his credits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before he made it big as an 'easy listening'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
soul ballad singer,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Michael had some success as a rock star...</div>
