Just Good Music
jgmSometime around early 2003, a group of friends came together and decided to take their personal interest and love of great music - and launch a blog. Just for fun. We called it Just Good Music. There were four of us at the core of the site.
John Parker, Robert Golladay, Dave Wilt - and of course - yours truly.

Eleven years of love - wiped out. My fault.
Fast forward - and I was recounting this sad story to the aforementioned Bob - who suggested that there would surely be a record of it in the way back machine. This week - I finally got around to looking and there it was. As the banner says - saved 55 times over the 11 years of it’s existence.
Just Good Music Lives here - and from time to time I will dive into that archive and pull up a post to repurpose it here. I have the first one already to go. Written by ‘JP - the other one’, as we used to describe. Have to say it was always one of my most favorite posts on the blog - so happy to have found it … Click Here To Read “What The Hell Happened”.
