Well, it’s finally finished. 14 months, 800 pages and 835,000 words later, the double volumes of the Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia have been put to bed. Volume 1 was released in March and Volume 2 is off to that magic place that turns Microsoft Work documents into books and Kindle Surprise. It’ll be available for download or sticking under the leg of a wobbly table in the next 10 days or so. And those who are true believers can order both here: http://www.bullseyecanada.com

Last week I completed a 26 year task. I finished writing Volume 1 of the history of Canadian pop music. It’s 430,000 words and 400 pages long. There’s over 1200 artists listed and a hundred or so photos. The germ of writing it began in August 1986. I massaged the final typos, corrections, dotted the “I’s” and crossed the “t’s” the final week of February 2012.
