"Hey all"
That's how I kicked off the On That Note series a year ago. It was an idea that @cyclones500 and I had been kicking around for a while; so we finally decided to take the plunge. The first installment is linked below. Reading it again, in retrospect, it seems a bit stuffy. But it's also kind of interesting looking back on where it started and where it is now.
We'd like to thank all who have appreciated our efforts and chimed in with thoughts and songs. It's been fun. Sometimes a bit of work and sometimes Wednesday morning is a very inconvenient time to post, depending on a life situation. So, at this, the one year mark, we've all decided to give ourselves a bit of a pat on the back for consistency at least. We never missed a week!
I'd must mention our third member who came on board earlier this year. He was very cautious not to step on toes, but c500 and I both loved adding him to the mix. He has come to be a valuable member of our team. It's nice to have him as a regular contributor. Thanks @CycloneRulzzz for helping us out and climbing aboard. I think it's kind of cool to have me, the old timer and c500 in the middle with Rulzzz having the younger outlook. It keeps us covering a lot more ground than anyone of us could cover alone. And the nice thing is, I think anyway, we're all 3 open to music from way-back-then to now. I love that!
It's been fun. (I know, I already said that!) I am always amazed (and sometimes a bit trepidatious before checking back) to see what people think of our offerings. But mostly you've been great and very supportive, rarely knocking anyone's musical tastes. Very classy!
I know we three have learned a lot and discovered some new-to-us music that might never have popped up on our radar. For that I thank you all, including c500 and Rulzzz.
One thing we all agree on is that we do appreciate fresh topic ideas. @BoxsterCy gave us the one for last week on bad lyrics. So far we've not run out of ideas but it is always nice to have suggestions. So we encourage a PM from anyone who has an idea for an OTN topic. Please chime in.
This is the first installment from a year ago. August 2, 2017, to be exact. It says On That Note was not the official title. I guess at this point it HAS become that.

Also we'd like to hear any specific favorite or interesting tidbits you readers might remember or would like to comment on from the year. What were some favorite topics? Memories, etc.? Was there a specific topic that first lured you to the series? And/or keeps you coming back? We'd like to make it as interesting as possible.
So, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ON THAT NOTE!
