The root note: Introduction to Deep in the grooves

Hello my fellow bloggers! My name is Aidan Hunt, and I’d like to give you all a very warm welcome to Deep In The Grooves, the blog dedicated to one of life’s most precious gifts; Music. Well, I have to admit that I won’t be writing about all types of music, I’m primarily going to focus on my own personal favorite genres. So if you were hoping to read about the history of dubstep, I deeply apologize because you will not find much about any popular music of the 21^st century on this blog. Now before I dive into my overall goal I’d like to provide you all with general information about the blog, and to do so, i've constructed some practical questions and answers so you can have an idea of what you’re in store for.

-       Why the name “Deep in the grooves”?

For the past year and a half, i've developed an utter obsession with vinyl records; I admit that my buying habits have spun out of control for the past few months. If you’re not familiar with vinyl records, most standard records have individual wax grooves that separate the albums songs from one another. So since I’m going to go beyond sharing a few songs here and there, I felt that Deep In The Grooves was a suitable name for the blog.

-       The blog is based around music, what specific genres am I going expect to read about?

Like I mentioned above, a majority of my blog posts are going to revolve around my own personal taste in music. My favorite genres are Blues, Rock, Folk, Traditional Jazz, New Wave, and even Classic hip-hop. But if you all have any specific genres you may like to read about, don’t hesitate to suggest your ideas while evaluating my work. I’m very open minded about music.

-       You say you are going into depth about these genres of music, what exactly do you mean by that?

In all honesty, the topics of my posts are going to be miscellaneous. A lot of them are going to be based around the history of specific musicians and why those musicians are essential figures in the history of their genre. I’m also going to explore the myths of music (IE: Musicians who have died at the age of 27) as well as posts about vinyl collecting, my own musical stories such as the time that my Grandfather played with The Beach Boys, and even current news in music that I find fascinating. I’m trying to give you all a wide variety of posts on my blog to avoid any of my posts from becoming repetitive, because there is nothing more than I fear then to bore you all to death.

-       What is the ‘song of the week’?

I know you all obviously know what the song of the week because it’s pretty self-explanatory, but I’d like to at least discuss it briefly. Every week on Wednesday, I’m going to be posting a new song on my blog page that has deeply me and that I believe you all may enjoy! Every time I post a song, I’ll be changing the artists and genre so you can all hear a variety of interesting music. I would greatly appreciate it if you all could take a few minutes out of your day and listen to the song of the week. Who knows, maybe you’ll discover new music that you’ll absolutely love. Check out the current song of the week "Concierto De Aranjuez Part 1" By Miles Davis, a beautiful piece of jazz that is bold enough to bring tears to your eyes.

 My goal:

Now that you all are provided with a reasonable amount of information on Deep In The Grooves, I’d like to share my goal of creating this blog. All I want is for my readers to be indulged the music I share, and my hope is that you’ll discover music that you love. There is nothing more than to get people to appreciate the fantastic artists of the 20^th century that are starting to become lost in time because in my opinion, truly great music is becoming harder and harder to find, so as teenagers I believe that we should all grow an appreciation for the artists who put their heart and soul into composing their music. If my the end of my blog, I have gotten you all to discover a new favorite artists, I will have endless amounts of satisfaction.

My questions for you all:

Alright guys, thank you all for barring with me and reading about Deep in the grooves. Now I have a question for you all, and I’m hoping that you can at least answer one of these questions so I can get to know your own music taste on a personal level. What do you all listen to? Do you have any favorite artists, songs, or albums? Please let me know, because I’d love to know what you all are listening to, so maybe I too can discover some new favorites. Please let me know.

Thank you all so much for your time! I can’t even express my excitement about starting this blog, because music is one of my deepest passions, and there is nothing that I love more than writing, discussing, and listening to music. I hope you’re all prepared, because for the next few weeks, you will all be going Deep In The Grooves.
