People are looking?
Tonight, while engaged in an online chat with a good friend(and fellow blogger), I was informed that there were people here who were going over to his blog from this one, and it made me wonder….
Are there more people out there peeking in on my “inquring mind” than I even imagined?
Earlier in the day, I noticed on a message board(that shall remain eternally nameless)that someone was asking for opinions from the posters there on who the best gospel bass singers of all were. This a day after I posted the previous entry here on the renowned “Big Chief” Wetherington(the favorite of most of those posters, not surprisingly), where I shared my own impressions on the gospel music legend.
Hmmm…if I knew that I would be even indirectly responsible for informed discussion on a message board, I might consider charging royalty fees for my thoughts.(Only kidding, folks.)
It DOES make me wonder, though, just how many people stop by to look at my thoughts…and why they are so important to some readers/visitors. After all, who am I really?
Some consider me a gospel music historian, and I suppose I am, after a fashion(I do have a monthly article on gospel music history on the top gospel music website, after all)…but does that really impress me? I’m very proud and happy to have the privilege of writing for SouthernGospelNews, but it in itself doesn’t really make me anything special…other than a gospel music fan and student of history with a sort of bully pulpit. If that makes me special to some readers, fine.
Don’t misunderstand…I’m glad that people find this little corner of the web worth checking out, and I’m glad that ALL of you stop by. I have just learned not to get too caught up in the idea that I’m someone extra special just because a lot of people stop by here(I learned that lesson in 20+ years of doing radio for a heritage station in an important market).
It’s just fun to think about who’s looking here…and why.
And I thank all of you for doing so…stop by anytime.
