If
you're a follower of any of the three blogs under the loudfastblogs
umbrella – Aerospace Perceptions, The View From the Pits, Frank
Blank Music – you've had nothing new to read since the year 2015
was on the verge of arrival.
Leading
up to that moment – and in the days since – my writing efforts
were by necessity hijacked by two book projects. One was the
realization of a full-color, hardback anniversary edition of my book Iron Fist, Lead Foot: John Coletti and Ford's 'Terminator.' The
other, finally nearing publication after five years of work, is Modern Listener's Guide: Jimi Hendrix with a foreword by Derek
Trucks and an afterword by John McLaughlin.
While
the idea of three blogs on three topics made perfect sense to me, in
practice the act of writing three blogs on three topics took up an
amazing amount of time. And yes, that should have been obvious from
the beginning.
So now,
in 2017, and with time for writing things other than books on the
horizon, I am bringing my love of music, motorsports, and aerospace
under one blog title – and you're looking at it. This will include
in its archive all of the posts written for the three separate blogs.
I hope
you'll stop by often because of a shared interest, and perhaps find a
new one. Onward!
