I do, and right now is one of those times. It appears that restoring broken links and images in this blog–including a whole slew of articles, exercises, and solo transcriptions for sax players and jazz musicians–is going to take considerable time and grunt work.
I’m frankly a bit depressed about the prospect. I’ve poured so much of myself into creating these articles over the past several years, and now a huge amount of my work is gone. Not gone irreparably, but gone from present view, which means that until I’ve got a bunch of files back in place, people who come to this blog won’t find what they’re looking for. Aaaarrrrghhh!!!
Well, it’s time for me to learn a lesson from the Amish. When a tornado blows through their farmlands, taking out barns and homes and destroying everything they’ve worked hard for, they don’t wallow in self-pity. They set about rebuilding. So that’s my plan, friends, and there’s no better time than the winter time.
If you’ve benefited from my articles on jazz, I’ll be restoring all the practice material (thank goodness I have it all on file!) and fixing the broken links on my jazz page. If you’ve enjoyed my posts on storm chasing, I’ll be downloading as many photos, weather maps, and radar images as I’m able to. And of course, I’ll also be doing my utmost to repopulate my photo page with images.
So be patient and please continue to drop in. One discouraging thing about this situation is knowing that it will result in a loss of traffic, but I’d like to think that Stormhorn.com has offered enough quality articles to maintain your interest and keep you coming back even when the going gets rough.
Goodonya,
Storm (aka Bob)
ADDENDUM: I’ve begun fixing my jazz posts, starting with the most recent and working back. The exercises on the pentatonic scale mode 4 and a diminished whole tone lick are now restored, and also appear properly linked on my jazz page.
