What an unpleasant surprise I had this morning when checking up IG’s blog (http://igblog.wordpress.com/), I saw IT IS GONE! DELETED!
Hey, IG! What is going on? I know you haven’t updated your blog recently, but we were expecting you to come back to blogging! I didn’t see this one coming, really! IG’s blog was a very interesting source of guitar ideas, I have always looked up to his way of blogging.
Does anybody know what happened? I will send him an email…

Maybe he is upgrading? He’ll be back… won’t he?

I don’t think he’s upgrading since he was using the wordpress site for his blog.
Now that you’re talking about it, it’s been a long time since his last post.
I will miss him if he don’t come back.
IG, please comme back !!

Well, I don’t think he is upgrading also. Maybe switched to paid hosting? But at that moment he should have notified us. Anyway, I sent him a mail, maybe he will answer back! I want him back also!

…yeah seriously, what happened? I loved going to this blog. First the recession, then seeing my brother with PTSD and now this. I am mentally and physically saddened.
I love reading all my blogs…what am I going to do now at work?

Man, that sucks! Let us know what you find out! I will try to get a hold of him via FB…

Yeah, I guess everybody is curious to know what happened. I will wait for an answer from him by email and i will keep you posted if I find anything. By the way, I hope we don’t disturb him in any way by asking this…

I knew it’d been awhile since his last post, but I didn’t realize he had deleted his blog. I hope he’s just moved to his own hosting. His was one of my favorite guitar blogs.

I was just wondering the very same thing.
I hope he’s OK.

Man, indeed, i didn’t know.
OK. I will stop here, the man probably had his reasons, must be important and i don’t want to be an idiot for being nosy. If IG will want to share it with us, OK, if he won’t, that’s OK, sounds like private business to me…

OK, so here’s what he sent me via Facebook:
“Man, had to close it down. My priorities shifted so that I just was not getting the time to write and keep up with it. It was a hard decision, but I just didn’t want a dead blog out there, you know? So, yeah, there you have it. IG BLOG no more. But, hopefully I can stay in touch with folks like you who are here in Facebook, ya know. So, don’t hate me Paul!”

Who knows what changed in his life, must be important. Sometimes I also feel i don’t get enough time to write here but I struggle to keep up with it. I hope to not be forced to close it.
