So, I’ve been doing this for a couple of months now, and I’m trying to assess how effective it is.
First, I’d like to say I think the list is pretty, well…, awesome!
There’s a wide variety of music from silly to serious, from quiet meditative to rockin’, jazz, ska, classical, pop, garage, anthems, tributes, and more!
For fifty random songs, I think that’s a fairly good starter variety, with more to come.
I hoped that listeners would first read the fairly short post and then listen to the song.
I tried to give some reasons for selecting the song with either personal thoughts about my own experiences, or at least some fun observations.
After checking it out, I was hoping that it might be shared–at least by the artist!
I was surprised to find that several artists didn’t share it.
Don’t get me wrong, because some posts were shared many times.
A few were shared more than I ever could have imagined!
But many just sat there.
I was hoping that an artist would look at it like a billboard that could be shared to build a larger audience, both for the musician and myself!
Anyway, it wasn’t mandatory to share them, and I humbly thank everyone who read any of my posts and/or shared them!
I also thank everyone who didn’t just hit the “like” button for the post and actually did explore the music with me!
Where do I go from here?
I’m not sure, but I have more ideas I’m working on.
But I’ll stick to what my initial plan: Trying to shine a spotlight on independent music artists!
Here’s the list for the first 50 Awesomest Songs:
I thank you!*Thank you!*Thank you!*Thank you!*Thank you!*Thank you!

I do a radio show when there isn’t a pandemic, called “Prime Time Theme Attic.” (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET when it returns.)
Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu )
