“The Purple People Eater” / Sheb Wooley /  1958
Reached number one on the Billboard pop charts in 1958

Dear People,

Let me be blunt:
Without YOU, there is no point in having this Blog.
My friend Ray and I have been working for over a week
to get things (The Blog) back online again.
For a while it looked like we had completely lost
our Subscribers and Followers list.
I don’t have that many of you, but believe me,
you are valuable to me and the only reason I do this.
To this very moment, I am uncertain we have succeeded
in recovering everything?
All I can say is that we believe I can Post stuff now
and you MIGHT get it?
So it’s been agonizing.
So much so, that I’ve considered folding everything up.
There would be no joy in working in the dark.
There might be some creative merit to it, but …
If you are still here … ?
THANK YOU.

Moving on …
