Farewell and thanks for the ride.

Hello all
I've thought and thought and unfortunately have come to the conclusion that it is time to pack it in. Due to so many outside reasons I am deciding to stop Dartman's World of Wonder. The top reason is time. I don't have the time that I once had to devote to the blog and I feel bad that I can't keep up with it. Another reason is the recent digital distribution act. It's all but killed a lot of file sharing systems and sites and thus make it harder and harder to post things to share with you all. I totally understand why it exists and believe it or not, I am in favor of it (especially in my business). However, they do need to tweak it a bit. I have loved doing this blog more than you can possibly imagine. It made me so happy to share my treasures with you all. I will keep all of the past posts up as long as Blogger will let me for anyone who may stop by and happen to want to see what I once shared with the internet. A lot of the sharities are gone due to the file sharing sites taking them down but it may provide a little bit of service in educating the new comers. Please understand that I would love to keep going but at this point in time, it is just not an option. Thanks for all of the great comments that you have all left and hopefully, one day, The World of Wonder can reopen at another time. Farewell. - The Dartman

When the Queen Smiles At Me I Go To Rio

Following up with the last post of The Partridge Family Bootleg, I bring you another bootleg. This time it's a real band playing a live concert. It's Queen rocking like only they could in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was part of a huge rock festival that still goes on to this day called Cidade do Rock. This particular performance comes from January 18, 1985. There never was and has never been a band like Queen and they were truly amazing. Hear for yourself as you listen to "Queen - Rock In Rio". Enjoy!

Come On Get Unreleased Songs

Today I offer a Partridge Family bootleg. What's that you ask, a Partridge Family Bootleg?!?!? Yes. I have no idea where I got this but I've had it for some time. At least ten years. It was a CDR that a friend of mine sent me back in the day when recordable CDs were the new novelty. It has no official name so I have always referred to it as "The Partridge Family Bootleg". It is pretty much a collection of songs that were on the TV show but never released. There are no track titles but you can figure out what songs are what by listening to it. For example, I know the first track is a cover of the old Everly Brothers hit, "Crying in the Rain" (written by Carole King). Anyway, it is pretty cool and I hope you like it as much as I do. Enjoy!

New Year, New Podcast!

Here it is, 2013! This marks year 7 of the World of Wonder. I never thought I would make it this far! (though it did look like I wasn't going to make it through year 6) I have a bunch of items to post this coming year so don't worry, the World of Wonder is alive and well. That being said, I do think this will be the final year of the blog as my time is just getting less and less free. However, I will take this year to bring you lots of fun stuff. Starting off with the latest Podcast. Here is podcast #31. To be honest, I have no idea what is in this one as I made it way back in October. It's been sitting around waiting to be posted and I just lost track of all time with being on the road and being a dad. So, here it is. Enjoy!
